Paper published in Chemical Engineering Journal

Our collaboration work on long-lived phosphorescence of silica nanoparticles with Profs. Woosung Kwon (Sookmyung Women’s University) and Kyeonghak Kim (Hanyang University) has been published in Chemical Engineering Journal. This work reports a use of defect-engineered silica nanoparticle that presents room-temperature phosphorescence with extended lifetime up to a few milliseconds-scale. Such a long lifetime allows tissue […]

Paper published in ACS Nano

Our collaborative study with Prof. Tae-Eun Park on brain delivery systems for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has been published in ACS Nano. In this study, we have utilized the microphysiological systems (MPS) mimicking human blood-brain barrier on a chip to discover BBB-penetrating aptamers. The MPS-derived aptamers showed remarkable BBB penetration efficiency, led by clathrin-mediated transcytosis. […]

Paper published in BioChip Journal

A floating magnetic membrane for efficient separation and enrichment of pathogenic bacteria using superparamagnetic nanoparticles and capillary glass tube has been developed. The virtual ‘filter’ can rapidly and selectively capture the target bacteria under continuous flow. This technology can be further expanded for large scale separation and purification of biological components. Watch out more.

Paper accepted in Chemical Communications

Our collaborative study on fluorescence-based intracellular imaging with Prof. Kyo Han Ahn (POSTECH) has been accepted for publication in Chemical Communications. This work reports a discrepancy of fluorescent properties between solutions and intracellular environment. Along with this finding, we have developed a series of benzocoumarin dyes which has environment-insensitive characteristics for super-bright bioimaging.
