Research summary

This researcher works at the intersection of materials science, engineering, and biology, developing microfluidic devices, nanophotonic tools, and self-assembling materials to study and detect cells, bacteria, viruses, and extracellular vesicles (tiny particles released by cells that carry biological information). Recent work focuses heavily on extracellular vesicles and particles as cancer and disease biomarkers, engineered cellular microenvironments to model diseases like cancer dormancy, and using machine learning to improve detection and imaging of biological particles. The work spans fundamental supramolecular chemistry (self-assembling materials) through to applied biomedical diagnostics and disease modeling.
