Research direction

Principal investigator, Dr. Hung-Yin Lin, earned his Ph.D. (with Prof. James L. Thomas) from Columbia University in the City of New York in 2003, and joined Prof. Tse-Chuan Chou’s team at National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan) with the funding of Ministry of Education of Academic Promote Excellent Program from 2003 to 2005. He joined National University of Kaohsiung (Taiwan) in 2005 as an assistant professor in Chemical Engineering and Material Engineering Department and adjunct assistant professor in Biotechnology Institute since 2006.

I. Biomolecular Detection

Recently, Dr. Lin et al. developed the technique of microcontact printing, which can prevent the problem of protein solubility in the solvent, when synthesizing MIPs. Microcontact printing is a significant advance in MIPs synthesis technology, as it not only requires less protein target, but also can offer an almost flat recognition surface for assembly with microfluidic system. We believe that this molecular imprinting technique could offer a tailor-made artificial antibody for the sensing of biomarker not only for cancer markers but also for viruses.

II. Controlled Release Nanocarriers

Ultrasound is commonly used in the preparation of unilamellar liposome dispersions, and is often considered for drug delivery or DNA transfection applications. To better understand the physical and chemical properties of lipid membranes that render them susceptible to ultrasonic permeabilization, the roles of temperature, lipid composition (cholesterol and PEG-lipid content) and liposome size have been studied. The results of these studies suggest that lipid packing is very important to ultrasound responsiveness; surprisingly, cohesive energy and tensile strength are not. Taken together, the experimental results implicate a defect-mediated permeabilization mechanism, rather than pore formation or membrane tearing.
