Research introduction
[Development of New emerging technologies Bridging the Nanoscience to Bioscience]
We are pursuing to develop new emerging technologies bridging the Nanoscience to Bioscience.
In our lab, notable approaches for fabricating new types of functional nanomaterials and their versatile applications to biological sensing, imaging, and molecular delivery would be conducted.
(1) First, we aim to develop simple and robust fabrication strategies of functional nanostructures, which can be easily followed by non-expert researchers, and demonstrate their versatile applications to optical signal enhancements for early diagnosis of diseases and ubiquitous biological monitoring.
(2) Second, we aim to explore cellular behaviors from signal cellular levels to multicellular organ levels through the functional nanoprobes with high-sensitivity and high-spatial resolution for revealing the biological mechanisms.
(3) Lastly, we aim to deliver biologics (ex., drugs, genes, and etc.) in controlled and targeted manners using functional nanocarriers with biocompatibility, biodegradability, stimuli-responsivity, and target-selectivity for precision and personalized medicine.
