Dr. Zhong’s research is devoted to developing innovative analytical techniques to advance our understanding on how biomolecules function, to improve disease diagnosis and treatment, and to assess the potential impacts from exposure to environmental pollutants. Our group employs synthetic receptors, functional nucleic acids, and nanomaterials, for target recognition and signal amplification; and also uses open-channel separation such as capillary electrophoresis and flow field-flow fractionation, optical spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, to assist with marker discovery and analysis.
