My current research efforts are focused on nanochip technology and bioassay development for (1) the simple, fast, ultrasensitive and highly specific detection of DNA, RNA and protein molecules, which are extremely important steps towards the fabrication of novel handheld devices for the space and earth application. (2) Producing nanoelectrode array systems to study the cardiac stem cell as a potential therapeutic agent for repairing heart damage, and study neuron stem cell as a potential therapeutic agent for repairing brain damage.

Our ultimate goal is to make a generic nanoelectronic sensing system to detect biomolecules for Space exploration, human health care and environment monitoring by integrating nanotechnology and biotechnology.
