[交流] Opening for PhD students at City University of Hong Kong

We are now having opening for PhD students from a variety of backgrounds (mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemistry, biology). Candidates with cell culture, nanotechnology, or microfabrication will be highly preferred.

Our lab is focusing on leveraging micro/nanotechnology for investigation of mechanobiology. We have particular interest in cell’s left-right bias, e.g. rightward biased migration, rotation, and orientation. We recently discovered that cells can generate a torque with rotational bias depending on cell types. As a leading group in such rotational mechanics, our research provides a fundamental framework in guiding cell mechanics, stem cell differentiation, and tissue regeneration. Some related publications can be found below:

Wei Liu, Yuanye Bao, Miu Ling Lam, Ting Xu, Kai Xie, Hin Sum Man, Edward Y. Chan, Ninghao Zhu, Raymond H. W. Lam, and Ting-Hsuan Chen*, Nanowire Magnetoscope Reveals a Cellular Torque with Left-Right Bias, ACS Nano, vol. 10(8), pp. 7409 - 7417, 2016
Yuanye Bao, Yaozhun Huang, Miu Ling Lam*, Ting Xu, Ninghao Zhu, Zhaobin Guo, Xin Cui, Raymond H. W. Lam and Ting-Hsuan Chen*, Substrate Stiffness Regulates the Development of Left-Right Asymmetry in Cell Orientation, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, vol. 8(28), pp. 17976 - 17986, 2016

In addition, We are also interested in development of biosensors based on nanotechnology and DNA nanomachines. That is to detect biomarkers in live cells or microfluidics assays for portable biosensors. Some related publications can be found below:

Chu, Lok Ting. , Leung, Hoi Man. , Lo, Pik Kwan. & Chen, Ting-Hsuan*. (9 Dec 2019). Visual detection of lead ions based on nanoparticle-amplified magnetophoresis and Mie scattering. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical. 306. 127564
Wang, Gaobo. , Chu, Lok Ting. , Hartanto, Hogi. , Utomo, William. Budi. , Pravasta, Reynard. Aaron. & Chen, Ting-Hsuan*. (6 Dec 2019). Microfluidic Particle Dam for Visual and Quantitative Detection of Lead Ions. ACS Sensors. 5. 19 - 23.

Monthly studentship: HKD 17,000+
Regular study period in City U: 4 years

We are open to inquiries regarding the interests of joining our group. If interested, please send your CV and also include the transcripts and English test result (TOEFL, IELTS, or CET-6). The inquiry should be addressed to: thchen@cityu.edu.hk. Thank you!
