Gao Research Group
Welcome to the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory!
Our research thrusts:
- Development of electronic biosensors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials to understand complex biological systems
- Translation of biosensing devices into biomedical applications in early disease diagnosis, point-of-care testing, and wearable health monitoring
- Strain- and defect-engineering in atomically thin materials and their van der Waals heterostructures for next-generation electronic biosensors.
