About Us

Our lab broadly focuses on two major themes: cancer and stem-cell biology.

For cancer, we are developing and employing quantitative, label-free techniques to isolate, screen, and identify cells for biomedical-research and for clinical diagnostic and monitoring applications.

For stem-cell biology, we are developing lab-on-a-chip systems that would enable us to study stem cells in their specialized niche.

Lab Equipment

Etcheverry Hall Lab

In our Etcheverry Hall Lab, we have a Class 1000/10000 cleanroom. Our cleanroom enables us to perform both standard and soft lithography.

Karl Suss Mask Aligner equipped with deep-UV optics for photolithography

Thin-film deposition system that allows both electron-gun and thermal evaporations

DekTak profilometer

Various Microscopes

Harrick Oxygen Plasma System

Harrick Oxygen Plasma System

PlasmaTherm dual chamber for plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and reactive-ion etching (RIE)

Sutarja Dai Hall Lab

In our Sutardja Dai Hall Lab, we have a dedicated tissue culture room and advanced imaging setups.
