Our laboratory applies physical (nanowire, electrostatic, microwave, plasma, laser), chemical (ELISA, LAL,nZVI) and molecular (PCR, qPCR, DGGE, electrophorsis) techniques and tools to address challenges in bioaerosol capture, detection and inactivation.
Specificly, we are focusing on the following areas: (1)bioaerosol capture, detection, characterization, and generation; (2) development of new tools for bioaerosol field and their applications in bioaerosol exposure assessment and control; (3) environmental bioaerosol sensor development and its application in early infectious disease screening; (4) roles of ambient bioaerosols in health, ecology and climate change.
