The Lee Group - Optical Biofluidic Imaging Group

Our team explores the collective functional and morphological responses of complex cellular network in 3D under external stimulus (fluid shear, micro-textured surfaces, surface ligands).

We discover novel optical principles for the development of 4D imaging flow assays by exploring the interface of optics, surface chemistry and data science, Through our imaging, computational and biological tools, we shall profile complex functional behavior of cellular network and validate drug targets or the study of diseases and disorders.

Find out more about the Optical Biofluidic Imaging Group (OBIG) group on their website.
