Name of Research Group: Nano-Bio Technology Laboratory
Description of Research Group:Biomedical engineering, the most rapidly growing of engineering disciplines from a global perspective, is now playing an irreplaceable role in the enhancement of human lifespan and its quality. At our Nano-Bio Technology Laboratory, we explore multi-disciplinary research and cutting-edge technology so that we bridge medicine and technology. Specifically, we are dedicated to achieving similar success with polypeptide sequencing to what nanopore sequencing has done to DNA so that there will be a possibility that we understand the causes of protein primary structure related diseases better and consequently come up with a solution. Moreover, solid-state nanopores have huge potential in single cell secretion detection because significant clinical biomarkers can be selective thanks to nanopore's adjustable geometry. We are also interested in utilizing electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy in various biomedical applications, such as synthetic biology and virology, to aid clinic treatment.
Team members Introduction:Yong Xie, master student (Class 2021) in Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Central South University. He graduated from Jiangnan University in June 2021 with major in automation. During his undergraduate study, he studied in Principle of Automatic Control, Sensing and Detection Technology and other courses. In addition, he focused the cultivation of innovation ability and developed engineering practice ability, and once visited Hong Kong Polytechnic University to participate in scientific and technological training and innovation projects. At present, his main research interest is nanoscale manipulation and measurement by using atomic force microscope. Email: xie.yong@csu.edu.cn
