Chemical Sensing and Drug Delivery
Oct. 2021: We receive an American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG). This internal grant will support us to develop nanoparticles for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Sep. 2021: Our paper on ion sensing in droplet microfluidics is accepted in Analytical Chemistry. We used laser-induced fluorescence to detect electrolytes in << 1 microliter of undiluted whole blood. Congratulations to Renjie and the team!
