Kaiyu Fu

Research Interests

Research in the Fu lab overlaps three disciplines: electrochemistry, nanoscience, and synthetic biology. Several emerging and exciting topics derived from these fields have emerged over the past decade, such as instrumentation advancement, cutting-edge nanotechnology, and novel commercial biomedical devices. Recently, Professor Fu's research has been particularly focused on: 

• Nanoscale electrochemistry, which paves the way for the development of ultra-sensitive analytical platforms reaching a single-entity detection level
• Electrochemical biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics and chronic disease management
• Nanobiotechnology, (e.g., DNA nanotechnology and directed evolution of nucleic acids)

Fu's research aims to manipulate molecular recognition with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
