WELCOME TO THE HUANG LAB
The Huang group integrates nanoscience and photobiology to help fight disease and improve human health.
We engineer nanometer-scale objects that allow optical and biophysical manipulation of diseases at various levels. This approach could facilitate the study of physiological barriers to drug delivery, multidrug resistance, and immune responses in living animals and clinical trials. The established photo-responsive nanotechnology could be used for a wide variety of applications, ranging from diagnosis to therapy and surgery.
The Huang lab educational initiatives focus on developing resources for students and educators to further their knowledge in photobiology and photochemistry and foster a sense of community.
