Read More »A review article on the delivery systems for CRISPR-based genome editing is published in Biomedical Engineering Letters. This article provides an overview on essential elements in CRISPR/Cas systems and nanoparticle-based delivery carriers as an alternative method over viral vectors. Read the article here. Great job, Aaron and Minjong!
Read More »Prof. Jinmyoung Joo wrote a book chapter on Diagnostic and Therapeutic Nanomedicine in Advanced Imaging and Bio Techniques for Convergence Science, as a part of Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. This chapter provides in-depth understanding on nanotechnology, particularly in biomedical applications, including general concepts and recent advances of nanomedicine for clinically relevant diagnostics and […]
Read More »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.
