Research Interests

Our group is interested in the study of biomolecular interactions and biomarkers sensing with the aid of fluorescence microscopic methods. Recently, we

1. develop ultrasensitive assays for the detection of potent cancer markers, e.g. microRNA;
2 study the fibrillogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease-related beta-amyloid peptides and theranostics of Alzheimer’s disease;
3 develop new imaging contrast agents for early disease diagnosis.
