|
Membrane interface dynamics, nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy, biophysical and chemical interdisciplinary study |
|
細胞膜介面之結構與動態、非線性光譜學與顯微術、生物物理化學跨領域研究 |
|
Prof. Hai-Lung Dai’s research focuses on examining surface structure and dynamics with nonlinear optical and spectroscopic/microscopic techniques. Throughout his career, Prof. Dai received many prestigious awards, including the Coblentz Award in Spectroscopy, the Alexander von Humboldt Award for Senior US Scientists, and the Ellis R. Lippincott from OSA. |
|
Prof. W. E. Moerner (Department of Chemistry, Stanford University) |
|
2014 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry, single-molecule spectroscopy and microscopy, super-resolution microscopy |
|
2014年諾貝爾化學獎得主、單分子量測與顯微影像技術、三維超解析生物顯微術 |
|
Prof. William Esco Moerner achieved the first optical detection and spectroscopy of a single molecule in condensed phases, which set the foundation of single-molecule studies in chemistry, physics, and biology. Among his many other honors and awards, Dr. Moerner received the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy”. |
|
Dr. Jung-Chi Liao (IAMS, Academia Sinica) |
|
Optoproteomics, super-resolution microscopy, SYNCELL INC. Founder & CEO |
|
光蛋白質體學、超解析顯微術、Syncell Inc. 之創辦人與CEO |
|
Dr. Jung-Chi Liao’s research elucidates molecular architecture of primary ciliary using super-resolution microscopy. With optoproteomics technology which his lab invented at Academia Sinica, Dr. Liao founded SYNCELL in 2020 to advance products including Microscoop™ to enable powerful spatial omics studies under a wide range of experimental settings. |
|
Dr. Chia-Lung Hsieh (IAMS, Academia Sinica) |
|
Chromatin conformation and dynamics, nanoscale biophysics, linear scattering microscopy |
|
細胞核結構與動態、奈米尺度下之生物物理、線性散射式光學顯微術 |
|
Dr. Chia-Lung Hsieh’s laboratory excels in developing new optical microscope techniques and data analytical methods to measure dynamics of biological nano-objects, and with high spatiotemporal resolutions. His latest works on coherent brightfield and high-speed scattering-based interreference microscopies enable label-free detection of viral infection and chromatin conformational dynamics with real-time live-cells imaging. |
|
Prof. Robert Austin (Department of Physics, Princeton University) |
|
Cancer-stroma interactions, biophysics of collective behaviors, microfluidics |
|
癌細胞動態與微環境之關聯、細胞群體現象之生物物理、微流道技術 |
|
Prof. Robert Austin’s research employs techniques of physics to achieve a quantitative understanding of fundamental aspects of evolution of various systems, encompassing cells, organisms and robots under stress. His current research includes bacterial collective intelligence, dynamics and evolutionary game theory during cancer-stroma interactions. |
|
Dr. Charles Pin-Kuang Lai (IAMS, Academia Sinica) |
|
Molecular bioimaging, extracellular vesicles, cell-to-cell communication, DNA repairs |
|
分子生物影像技術、胞外體、細胞間訊號傳遞、DNA受損動態修復機制 |
|
Dr. Charles Pin-Kuang Lai’s group focuses on developing molecular bioimaging tools to investigate biological phenomena in vivo, including bionanoparticles (extracellular vesicles [EVs]; exosomes) and DNA repairs. His latest works identified cancer EV type-dependent biodistribution and function during tumor progression, as well as DNA repair dynamics under genome-editing and anti-cancer treatments. |
