Research interests

My research interest mainly focuses on diseases diagnostic and treatment with novel technologies. The diagnostic is including smart multifunctional molecular imaging nanoprobes, ultrasensitive detection technologies and devices based on nano particles for detection of tumor biomarkers, biosensors, point-of-care lateral strip for cancer and pathogens. The treatments are including cold atmosphere plasma, sustainable plant-based extraction and novel drug delivery to conquer cancers and chronic diseases.
