Welcome!
Our philosophy:
Research in biology and medicine has led to significant advances in healthcare in the last century. However, we are still facing tremendous challenges in offering effective diagnostic and therapeutic solutions, ranging from tropical infectious diseases (e.g. malaria) to aging-associated diseases (e.g. cancer, neurological disorders). While this requires the collaborative efforts from different expertise including but not limited to biology, medicine, technology and business, engineers can make a unique contribution by developing enabling technologies to help address these global problems.
Housed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas, our laboratory is devoted to:
(1) Develop innovative engineering solutions for fundamental biological research, disease diagnostics and therapeutics;
(2) Educate next generation research scientists and technical entrepreneurs.
We are always looking for highly motivated individuals to join our laboratory. With the interdisciplinary nature of the work, candidates with different backgrounds (engineering, biology, chemistry etc) are welcome to apply.
Our Approach:
The NanoThermal Bioengineering Laboratory focuses on fundamental understanding of the bio-nano interface and translating this to biomedical applications. Current efforts focus on the thermo-plasmonic fundamentals and its effects at the interface between biological systems and nanomaterials. Specifically, experimental techniques and methods will be developed to understand the effects of nanoparticle plasmonic heating on proteins and other biomolecules immediately surrounding the nanoparticle. This can lead to new enabling tools for fundamental research, and to applications in both diagnostic and therapeutic areas.
