Our laboratory is engaged in basic and applied research in a wide range of topics. One area of focus in on the use of protein engineering / expression techniques for developing recombinant anti-cancer therapeutics. Another active area of research involves the design and engineering of portable sensor devices using leading-edge micro- and nanofabrication methods. The third major area of investigation in our lab explores how biomaterials may be used to develop novel methodologies for creating advanced microfluidic systems and nanostructured arrays for bioanalytical applications. More detailed descriptions of some of our specific projects may be found our Research section.

Our multi-disciplinary research group brings together biologists, physicists, chemists, and engineers to work together on interesting and important biological problems, and to develop unique tools for investigating them. Currently, our lab includes a number of senior research associates, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students. In addition, we have an administrative assistant, as well as a core technical staff responsible for assisting in the research efforts of the lab.
