Title/Position: Professor, Doctoral Supervisor
Educational Background:
Ph.D. 2005 The University of Michigan, USA (Biomed Eng)
M. S. 2002 The University of Michigan, USA (Biomed Eng)
B.S. 2000 Nankai University, China (Biochem)
Research Focus:
I am interested in developing micro and nano-fabricated tools to elucidate molecular mechanisms of cell mechanotransduction. The state-of-the-art technologies will help us better perform cell-based assays and dissect cell signaling pathways.
