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.
