Welcome

The Hong Group’s research lies at the interface of materials science, biology, and nanotechnology to develop novel polymeric nanodevices for biological analysis, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The ultimate goal of our laboratory is to achieve a marriage of biomimetics and nanotechnology.

Our work is conducted in a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment that provides opportunities for students with backgrounds and/or interests in chemistry, engineering, biology, medicine, and pharmaceutical sciences. We Group engineer novel nanoscale materials for drug delivery and liquid biopsy, aiming to transform the current ways we diagnose, prognose, and treat cancer patients.
