Research Goal & Perspective
Research Goal & Perspective
Our research is grounded in the principles of electrical engineering and optics, focusing on the development of scientific sensing technologies and platform systems applicable to biosensors, biomedical devices, and the elucidation of disease mechanisms.
Rather than pursuing purely theoretical or simulation-based studies, our lab emphasizes experimental, physics- and materials science-based approaches rooted in electrical engineering. Through hands-on research, we aim to understand the underlying principles of physical phenomena and translate these insights into meaningful, real-world applications.Positioned at the core of what is often referred to as "convergent science," our work lies at the intersection of physics, electrical/materials/mechanical engineering, and biotechnology. We pursue research themes that allow scientists trained in electrical engineering to contribute practically and substantively to real-world problems, going beyond theoretical discourse to deliver impactful innovations.
Our research laboratory has a clear and ambitious mission:
To leverage scientific expertise to create solutions that benefit humanity—while achieving world-leading, first-of-its-kind performance in our technologies. We are committed to providing an exceptional research environment and strive to assemble a top-tier talent pool to drive innovation at the highest level.

Bio Application. 인공세포막 재현 (Reconstruction of Lipid model membrane)
During vesicular trafficking and release of enveloped viruses, the budding and fission processes dynamically remodel the donor cell membrane in a protein- or a lipid-mediated manner. In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. The geometrical approach to the recapitulation of the dynamic membrane reorganization, resulting from the local radii of curvatures from nanometre-to-micrometre scales, offers important clues for understanding the active roles of the bud topography in the sorting and migration machinery of key signalling proteins involved in membrane budding.
인간의 세포는 유전물질을 보호하고, 세포 내외로 신호 전달을 용이하게 하기 위하여, 세포막에 의해 둘러쌓여 있습니다. 실제 세포막을 그대로 체외로 가지고 와서 재현함에 큰 어려움이 있기 때문에, 인공 세포막을 재현함으로써, 체내에서 발생하는 세포막의 역할, 관련 질병과의 연관성 등등의 세포막 관점에서의 바이오 현상을 물리학적 관점에서 설명하고 있습니다.
타겟질병: 치매단백질의 세포막과의 질병 유발인자 규명, 엑소좀을 이용한 각종 질병질환 연구.

Identification of Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Factors through the Analysis of Protein Binding and Behavior on the Cell Membrane
In order to identify the causative factors of Alzheimer’s disease, it is essential to obtain precise information on the lipid membrane domains known as lipid rafts, as well as to accurately characterize the proteins that associate with these domains.
Through such investigations, we aim to study the attachment and behavior of Alzheimer’s-related proteins on the cell membrane.This research seeks to uncover the underlying factors contributing to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and to develop a sensor platform that can ultimately be applied to both the qualitative and quantitative detection of protein binding and drug interactions

We are conducting sensor development from the perspective of electrical engineering-based optical physics, electronic physics, and optics.
Our research explores various approaches, such as placing cell membranes onto optical sensors and culturing living cells directly on sensor platforms, in order to reproduce and observe phenomena that closely resemble in vivo conditions.
