HYDROGEL ELECTRONICS FOR CLOSED-LOOP NEUROTHERAPY

Nov 22, 2024

Congratulations to Qu Jin and Xie Kai, our work on Hydrogel Electronics for Closed-Loop Neurotherapy is published on Science Advances.

IN VIVO GENE EDITING OF T-CELLS FOR ENHANCED IMMUNOTHERAPY

Nov 7, 2024

Congratulations to Jin Qu and Yuan Wang for a new publication accepted by Nature Communications. We created a hydrogel electronics-based tweezer system to perform in vivo gene editing of T-cells in lymph-nodes to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

SINGLE-CELL GENE SILENCING FOR COMBINATORY SIRNA SCREENING

Oct 26, 2024

Congratulations to Guo Feng and Ji Xianglin, our work on single-cell gene silencing for combinatory siRNA screening is accepted for publication on Nature Communications.

MEDIA COVERAGE

Oct 8, 2024

Professor Shi was interviewed by Wenweipo to comment on the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Our biochip technology for non-PCR, sequencing-free, highly multiplexed, and high-throughput profiling of microRNAs was patented by US patent office in 2023 May.

BEYOND RESEARCH

Sept 9, 2024

Professor Shi, as the invited panel member, attended the seminar (Hong Kong as Asia’s Medical Technology Hub) hosted by InvestHK, to discuss the exploration of Hong Kong's pivotal role in the medical device industry and to discover the opportunities available for medical device companies and stay informed about regulatory requirements for medical device registration in Hong Kong

META LEARNING AND BRAIN ACTIVITY MAPPING FOR DRUG DISCOVERY

Oct 18, 2024

Congratulations to Luo Xuan for a publication on iScience. We integrate few-shot meta-learning algorithms with brain activity mapping (BAMing) to enhance the discovery of therapeutics for brain diseases.

NEW METHOD FOR ANALYSING EPIGENETIC TARGETS

July 17, 2024

In our new publication in JACS, we introduced a molecular beacon-functionalized nanoneedle array designed for spatially resolved profiling of long non-coding RNA and RNA-biding protein interactions.

MICROARRAYED ELECTROPORATION FOR TRANSDERMAL DNA VACCINATION

June 12, 2024

Congratulations to Yuan Wang and Jin Qu for their publication in PNAS. We develop a hydrogel-based organic electronic device (μEPO) for both transdermal delivery of nucleic acids and in vivo microarrayed cell electroporation, which is specifically oriented toward one-step transfection of DNAs in subcutaneous antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for cancer immunotherapy.
