Research Overview
The overarching goal of our research is to advance high-throughput bioanalytical chemistry through the development of innovative optical and molecular barcoding technologies, often with million-scale encoding capacity. High-throughput approaches are increasingly important in analytical science, enabling comprehensive, efficient, and scalable analysis of complex biological systems while substantially reducing time and resource demands. Our research is highly interdisciplinary, integrating analytical chemistry, material science and engineering, microfabrication, systems biology, computational analysis and optical imaging. Through these efforts, we aim to address important challenges in single-cell analysis, high-throughput screening, and related areas of bioanalysis.Â
