Introduction

Dr. Hsing-Ying Lin serves as an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at National Tsing Hua University. Before relocating to NTHU, she was a Research Fellow in the Center for Systems Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. She got prestigious MGH FMD fellowship (2018) and NIH T32 training grant (2019) in US. She focuses on the development of point-of-care devices with rapid streamlined assays. She has strong interests in the liquid biopsy arena, developing several integrated sensing platforms and streamlined signal enhancement assay methods for sensitive, high-throughput profiling of oncological/exosomal markers in clinical samples for translational medicine studies. Her publishments encompass Nature Biomedical Engineering, ACS Nano, Small, Biosensor and Bioelectronics, Advanced Healthcare Materials, etc.

This team mainly focuses on the development of prospective liquid biopsy sensing tools for non-invasive tumor analysis research. The development includes the practical application of integrated AIoT biomedical sensors, nano-/micro- materials, surface chemistry, biomolecular techniques, and statistical analysis in systems biology and clinical translational medicine fields. This team pays equal attention to theory and practice. 


Research Topics

Development of biopsy sensor and integration of assay method on sensing platform; application of nano-/micro-material on sensors; extracellular vesicle detection and population analysis; integrated portable AIoT sensors in translational medicine application
