Laboratory for Biomeasurement

How can mechanical engineering interact with biology? In recent decades, the development of micro and nanotechnology have opend unprecedented promises for investigation at the scale of biomolecules and cells. In the Laboratory for Biomeasurement, we leverage the merits of microtechnologies to measure and intervene the biomolecules  and cellular systems. It allows implementation of physical stimulus such as stretching, torque or geometric interface, chemical stimulus such as diffusion gradient of growth factor or cytokines, and in-situ probing such as intracellualr nanosensors that enables the immediate acquisition of cellular response. Overall, we aim at providing a repertoire of engineering tools for insightful discovery and solution for tissue engineering, cancer, and disease diagnostics.
