About TU LAB
We integrate chemistry, materials science, and engineering to develop quantitative bioanalytical tools for investigating the molecular composition of cells, cellular signaling, and interactions between cells and their environment.
Our research spans single-cell analysis, microfluidic platforms, biointerface design, and the synthesis of cell-mimetic and functional soft materials. Through materials with tunable properties and well-controlled experimental systems, we aim to measure and understand complex biological phenomena with greater precision.
