Title: Chip-based nanostructure-enabled biological and biomedical sensing

Abstract: Our lab seeks to develop a variety of chip-based nanostructure-enabled bio-analytical tools with improved functionality and performance. In this talk, I will cover a couple of research topics. The first topic is about an optical sensing platform and its applications for label-free detection of disease biomarkers and plant hormones. The second topic is about a fluorescence-enhancement platform for immunosensing and cell secretion monitoring. Given their ultra-sensitivity, high specificity and selectivity along with their operational simplicity, inexpensiveness and portability, these technical platforms can be developed for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.
