Research:
Welcome to the Molecular Imaging and Cellomics Laboratory. We develop next-generation molecular imaging technologies that decode cellular function and accelerate precision diagnostics.
By integrating synthetic chemistry, chemical biology, quantitative cellomics, advanced microscopy, and AI-driven image analysis, we seek to decode cellular function with high spatial and temporal precision. Our research spans fluorescent probe development, cell-specific imaging, biomarker discovery, and disease diagnosis, with the ultimate goal of translating molecular insights into imaging-based clinical technologies. Through interdisciplinary innovation, we strive to transform chemistry into imaging, imaging into biological insight, and insight into clinical impact.
To push the boundaries of chemical biology, we will bridge chemistry and biology with advanced imaging tools. We are looking for Biologists who want to see the unseen, and Chemists who want to develop the next generation bioimaging tools. Bring your strength in one, and we will help you master the rest.
