Research Interests

• The theme of our research is to advance cell analysis, disease diagnosis, and other detection technological innovations through the development of intelligent nucleic acid tools based on artificial intelligence and molecular engineering technology. We aim to develop DNA-based computational platforms that analyzes complex biomarker profile (e.g. miRNA, mRNA, and genetic DNA) directly in clinical samples and rapidly produces diagnostic results for different diseases (e.g. cancers and infection-related diseases) without human intervention and complicated instrumentation. We hope that our DNA-based computational platform can be further expanded for clinical molecular diagnostics and will inspire more work on utilizing the power of DNA computing towards accurate, rapid, low-cost, and non-invasive disease screening and classification.
