My effort is toward the development of noninvasive, high resolution, in vivo imaging technology and drug delivery systems, which is a multidisciplinary field covering a vast and diverse devices derived from engineering, biology, physics, and chemistry. My backgrounds include physics, physical chemistry, nanotechnology and MEMS. To combine molecule imaging with drug delivery as guided cancer therapy is my dream. I am going to develop nanovectors barring biologically targeted, nanosized imaging agent and high condensed drug using MEMS and hydrodynamic focusing techniques. The nanovectors also can help us to unravel the molecular pathways of many diseases. My new developed microfluidic system can help us to get the nanovectors with size control, asymmetric control, functional modification and encapsulating control and eventually to build a platform to combine molecular imaging and guided cancer therapy.
