Our laboratory bridges the gap between molecular chemistry, nanotechnology, and engineering to solve some of the most pressing challenges in global healthcare and sustainable energy. By breaking down the traditional boundaries between scientific disciplines, our laboratory translates fundamental molecular insights into high-performance, real-world technologies.
Welcome to BioNANO SYSTEMS LAb
CHEMISTRY OF MOLECULAR PROBES & NANOHYBRIDS
Our theranostic platform represents the future of developing molecular probes for light-powered precision medicine by seamlessly combining advanced diagnostics and targeted treatment into a single "see and treat" approach. Powered by the interaction between photons and specialized nanohybrids and materials, this technology functions in three core strategies. First, it enables ultra-sensitive, early-stage diagnosis by utilizing optical and nanophotonic methods to catch cancer biomarkers at incredibly low, picomolar concentrations. Next, it provides deep-tissue, high-contrast imaging using NIR-II photoluminescence, Photoacoustic Imaging (PAT) to safely see through otherwise opaque biological tissues with high-resolution clarity. Finally, the platform delivers targeted, light-triggered therapy where the nanohybrids convert absorbed light into localized heat (photothermal) or reactive oxygen (photodynamic) to precisely destroy malignant cells without harming surrounding healthy tissue.
