RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Chen Lab brings together multidisciplinary expertise in Nanomedicine, Biomedical Engineering, Drug Delivery, Chemistry, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Immunology, and Biology. Our research interest spans the innovation of fundamental materials, including nanoparticles, two-dimensional materials, hydrogels, and RNA nanomedicine, as well as living materials like engineered microalgae, microbes, and cells. These materials find diverse applications in disease treatment, vaccine development, and translational medicine. Our innovations are aimed at enabling efficient therapeutic delivery to targeted areas, addressing a range of diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, while also exploring applications in anti-aging and tissue regeneration. Additionally, our research interest includes the development of innovative diagnostic agents that leverage protein corona phenomena on nanoparticle surfaces to enhance our understanding of biological processes and the intricate interactions at the nano-bio interface.
The Chen Lab actively recruits undergraduate students, Master's students, PhD students, research assistants, and postdoctoral researchers in diverse fields, such as chemistry, biomedical engineering, biochemistry, nanotechnology, biology, medicine, immunology, materials science engineering, pharmacy, chemical engineering, or related disciplines. If you are interested in our research and would like to apply for any of these positions, please email your CV or resume to wchen123@gate.sinica.edu.tw (Professor Wei Chen Laboratory).
