Welcome to Elitas Lab
Our research goals are focusing on developing new micro-technologies and using physical approaches to obtain a quantitative understanding of fundamental biological processes to contribute Quantitative Biology and Medicine with following quote:
"Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so."

Research Areas
Antibiotics
- Infection-on-a chip systems using microfluidics
- How do antibiotics work?
- How do bacteria respond to antibiotics?
- How can we increase the efficacy of antibiotics?
Biosensors
- Rapid, sensitive, low-cost DNA/RNA detection.
- Portable, practicable biosensors for low-resource settings.
- Biosensors exceeds laboratory boundaries for research in clinics, agriculture and education.
Cancer-Immune Interaction
- Development of artificial tumor microenvironment.
- Understanding cancer-immune cell interaction at single-cell level.
- Tumor associated macrophages, are they friends or foes?
Dielectrophoresis
- Quantifying population heterogeneity ccording to DEP behavior of cells.
- Single cell deformability and mechanical plasticicty.
- Electromechanical biomarker for disease and pathogen diagnosis.
Surgical Tools and Simulators
