Bio/Chemical Sensing

我的研究项目开发荧光材料和技术，用于分析生物分子，以改善医疗保健。在这项提案中，重点是使用称为量子点和聚合物点的特殊材料，以实现基于智能手机的蛋白质生物标志物和细胞类型的诊断，以及用于阐明与癌症等疾病病理学相关的复杂细胞过程的新型探针。这项研究的长期成果将是新的临床设备和新的工具，以扩大基础生物医学知识。对加拿大人的影响将是更有效的疾病诊断和治疗。

My research program develops fluorescent materials and technologies for the analysis of biological molecules toward improved health care. In this proposal, the focus is on the use of special materials called quantum dots and polymer dots to enable smartphone-based diagnostics for protein biomarkers and cell types, and novel probes for elucidating complex cell processes relevant to the pathology of diseases such as cancers. The long-term outcomes of this research will be new clinical devices and new tools for expanding fundamental biomedical knowledge. The impacts for Canadians will be more efficient disease diagnoses and therapies.
