Our research work is at the interface of biomaterials and translational medicine. The overarching goal of our work is to develop state-of-the-art theranostic approaches and technology by taking the advantages of molecular design, materials preparation and modification as well as bio-technique and pharmaceutical synthesis to solve the problems we encounter in clinical. The interdisciplinary research in our lab refers to chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine, which mainly includes:

1. Bio-synthetic hybrid microrobotics

2. Chemical synthetic biology

3. Engineered microbial living therapeutics

4. Intelligent microbial living materials
