Research focus
Biosensing: We develop sensors for detecting biological molecules, providing real-time monitoring of health and environmental markers.
Cell therapies: We engineer cells as therapeutics to target a range of diseases, from cancer to genetic disorders. We develop approaches for more effective cell manufacturing and cryopreservation.
Diagnostics: We innovate methods for the early and precise detection of diseases at molecular and cellular levels and vaccines.
Engineering biologics: We engineer proteins and other biologics to treat diseases, including antibodies, enzymes, and therapeutic proteins.
Gene therapies: We innovate delivery and manufacturing technologies that use genes to treat, prevent, or cure diseases or medical disorders.
Imaging: We create advanced imaging techniques to visualize biological processes and bio-molecular interactions.
Lab-on-Chip systems: We miniaturize and automate complex laboratory biological processes onto microchips for diagnostics applications.
Pharmaceutical engineering: We develop processes to produce safe and effective drugs, from formulation to manufacturing scale-up.
Therapeutic delivery: We develop new drug nano-carriers for more targeted and effective drug.
