研究领域

Our research interests are highly interdisciplinary at the interfaces of Chemical Biology, Fluorescent Imaging Probe Design, Bio-labeling, Nano-medicines, Pharmaceutical Chemistry as well as Food Analysis. Specific aims of ours are to integrate the knowledge of synthesis chemistry, chemical biology and optical imaging sensing techniques to design, develop and identify the "smart" small molecules, natural products, drug active peptides and/or their analogues to solve biological and medicinal problems. We are also interested in development of new functional nanomaterial hybrids as chemical biology tools for biosensing, imaging, enzyme detection, biocatalysis, drug/gene delivery or potential clinical diagnosis. (a) Biomedical Fluorescent Imaging / Chemcial Biology / Pharmaceutical Chemistry Development of novel and "smart" small molecule imaging probes (including design and preparation of small organic or polypeptide fluorophores, "photocaged or photoactive" systems, fluorescent labeled glycopeptides, nucleotides and/or fluorescent nanoparticles or functional oligo/polymers etc) for specific labeling of diseases related proteins on cell memebrane or inside cellular organelles, real-time imaging of the medical functions of bioactive molecules, screening of drug inhibitors or monitoring of drug reaction processes in living systems. (b) Nano-bio technology / Nano-theranostics Development of "smart" - sitimulus - respsonsive peptide or lipid conjugated metallic nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots, NIR light-mediated photoactive functional nanomaterials for tumor/bacterial localized sensing, targeted drug/nucleic acids delivery, molecular imaging and precision biomedicine.
