Scientific Writing Guidance for Postgraduate

Area of Research

The Wang laboratory uses an interdisciplinary approach that integrates material science, biology, chemistry and engineering to solve problems in human health. It is emphasized that using Nature's design principles to develop bio-inspired materials and devices, and ultimately, transform medicine. From the physicochemical perspective, they are focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the interfaces of cell-cell, cell-materials, and develop the tools for cancer diagnosis and personalized medicine.

1. Cellular surface engineering

Cellular surface engineering here as a avenue of research covers two points, Firstly, it is with the purpose of exploring the molecular structure of cells from a biological perspective and secondly it aims at discovering the properties of materials from the scope of material science, such as surface topography and structure of extracellular matrix (ECM), cell size and shape, and so on.

2. Diagnostic macro/micro-devices based on cellular interface

Cell rolling and migration is an important physiological (such as tissue repair) and pathological process (such as cancer metastasis) that is used to recruit specific cells in the bloodstream to a target tissue. Learn from the similar process, we aim to develop microfluidics/paper-based technologies to sort cells (for more broad vision, exosome or bio-macromolecules such as DNA/RNA/proteins included) for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

3. Therapeutic micro/nano-tools based on cellular interface

Long systemic circulation lifetime is vital for drug delivery because long-circulating vehicles can more effectively localize in the disease sites, such as tumors and cardiovascular lesions. Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are Nature's long-circulating delivery vehicles. We are interested in exploring and demonstrating the mechanism responsible for its roles. It will inspire the design and engineering of man-made delivery systems for cancer treatment in the future.

Focus

We focus on the biologically interficial engineering for translationla medicine, especially to study the interfaces of cell-cell, cell-materials, and develop the tools for cancer diagnostics and personalized therapeutics.

Technique Used

Biochemical and molecular biological technique, cell culture, chemical synthesis and characterization, electron microscopy, microfluidics, mouse (or primate) models.

Translational medicine potential
Early cancer diagnosis tools and personalized treatment methods; cell engineering and cell therapy.
