Starting a new Lab in October 2025, we are passionate about revolutionizing health diagnostics and monitoring through chemical sensors.
Our focus is on the detection and real-time monitoring of biomarkers, which is essential for advancing healthcare applications. While traditional medical practices often rely on single-point blood tests, we track valuable health information that can be found in alternative body fluids—such as breath, saliva, sweat, and interstitial skin fluid (ISF). By harnessing these easily accessible fluids, we aim to provide critical health data in a non-invasive, routine, and on-demand manner.
Our research is grounded in the exploration of advanced nanomaterials and their application in health sensing. Starting from fundamental materials research and synthesis, we develop novel nanomaterials with enhanced sensing capabilities. These materials form the foundation for our innovative sensing platforms and portable, wearable chemical sensors that can transform healthcare monitoring. Through creative device engineering and rigorous clinical validation with healthcare partners, we bridge the gap between promising lab results and practical diagnostic tools. Our interdisciplinary approach, combining expertise from materials science, chemistry, engineering, data analytics, and clinical medicine, enables us to address complex healthcare challenges and drive new biomarker discoveries that promote global health and well-being.
We are always looking for motivated researchers who share our vision of developing next-generation sensing technologies. If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, please reach out.
