Research Interests
biomedical and environmental
studies. Currently we are working on the following projects:
1. Design and Synthesis of Novel Nanoparticles. The objective of this
project is to develop more effective luminescent nanomaterials
as labeling regents for ultra-sensitive bioanalysis. Nanocrystals and
fluorescent nanoparticles have shown great
potential for use as efficient bionanomaterials. We will take advantages of
both nanocrystals and nanoparticles to develop new
types of luminescent nanomaterials. 2.
Investigation of Toxicity of Nanomaterials to Living System. We are
interested in the toxicity of nanomaterials to living
cells at the cellular and molecular levels, such as the effects of
nanomaterials on DNA damage and cell proliferation and death. We expect that
this
study will provide critical information for biotechnological and
biomedical applications of nanomaterials. 3.
Development of Nanosensors for Environmental Quality Monitoring. We intend to
develop various nanosensors for sensitive and simple determination of
inorganic, organic and biological samples. 4.
Early Cancer Diagnoses Using Nanotechnology. Our specific aim in this project
is to diagnose cancers in early stages using fluorescent nanoparticles as highly
fluorescent probes based on specific protein reactions. |
