My name is Hsiung-Lin Tu, and currently am running a research lab at the Institute of Chemistry of Academia Sinica as the principle investigator. I am a trained chemist and biophysicist with a keen interest in developing quantitative tools for cell and biomolecule analysis with good spatiotemporal resolution. I believe curiosity is one of the most important traits for good researcher. If you ever wonder why things are the way they are, and are interesting in learning and developing cross-disciplinary tools to figure our the answers, feel free to contact my and we may form a good team.
Quantitative Bioanalysis Lab is the place where one can bring and invent new tools in order to address unmet needs in the field of biology, biomedical engineering and analytical sciences. We have assembled a highly interdisciplinary team members to conduct research at the interface of chemistry, materials, engineering, and biology. Our core expertise including single-cell and single molecule analysis, bio-interface engineering, artificial cell construction via the interfacial design, microfluidic technology and lipid assays membrane developments.
The research interests at the Quantitative Bioanalysis Lab are focused on: 1) Development of quantitative assays for single-cell and functional proteomic analysis; (2) Construction of bio-interfaces to Investigate cell signaling and cell-interface interactions; (3) Integration of bioengineering tools to synthesize cell-mimetic soft matter materials.
