Biomedical Microsystems Lab

"Evolve Micro-Technology into Medicine"

We are evolving microtechnology by combining microfluidics, integrated circuits, biotechnologies and informatics to build advanced biomedical microsystems. One of the key concepts of our research is to utilize array of tiny biochemical reactors for overcoming the limits of the conventional biochemical analysis methodology. Advanced functions are integrated into the reactors for handling single objects including molecules, vesicles or/and cells. Moreover, DNA barcoding and photon detectors are also integrated for indexing individual objects and detecting reaction signals directly from the reactors. The integrated microsystems are mainly applied to the liquid biopsy for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers to realize personalized medicine.
