overview
- Our lab designs, fabricates, and applies biosensors for measuring small molecules (e.g., sugars, hormones), viruses, or cells. We are working with hypothesis-driven labs to apply sensing technology in projects within agricultural, environmental, and medical research. Our current projects are related to food safety (rapid pathogen detection), environmental agrochemistry (pesticide/herbicide sensing), natural remedies and functional foods (Chinese traditional medicine), and oral diagnostics of disease (diabetic ketoacidosis).
