Research Interests
Fang's research is focused on fabrication, modeling and application of acoustic wave sensors to quantitatively probe cell behaviors and mechanical properties under various biological conditions. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate that the acoustic wave device can provide an electromechanical mechanism for high sensitive signal transduction that allows us to access the cells adhered on the surface of the device as the biological element in this cell—acoustic wave biosensor system. In addition, she is interested in the use of the microcontact printing technique to control cell size, shape and function.
