나노바이오융합연구실
FRUITS Lab
마이크로/나노 스케일의 미세유체현상과 바이오물질 반응에 대한 기본적인 이해를 바탕으로 새로운 기능과 성능을 갖는 랩온어칩 시스템 개발과 바이오메디컬분야 응용이 주요 연구 분야이다. 랩온어칩은 실험실에서 큰 장비를 이용해야만 분석 가능한 각종 생화학 반응을 바이오칩이나 미세유체칩을 활용하여 빠르고 정확하고 언제 어디서나 수행 가능하도록 하는 시스템을 뜻하며, 세포분석, 단백질 및 유전자 검사 등 바이오메디컬공학 분야에서 크게 각광받는 분야이다. 특히, 랩온어디스크 분야의 세계적 선도 연구 그룹이며, 최근에는 혈액, 소변 등 체액으로부터 암세포, 엑소좀 등을 분리하여 개인맞춤형 암진단 및 치료에 활용하는 액체생검 디바이스를 개발하고 상용화한 바 있다. 또한, 암세포미세환경 및 세포간 신호교신 연구를 위한 세포칩 및 오간온어칩, 단일세포분석 등 첨단 융합 연구에 집중하고 있다.
The main research theme in YK Cho’s research group is focused on the development of lab-on-a-chip system with fundamental understanding of bio-molecular interactions and fluidic behavior in micro/nano scales. A family of unique microfluidic platforms are utilized to probe cells with unprecedented precision and to have systems understanding of cellular communications in tumor microenvironment. Current research topics include a lab-on-a-disc for the detection of rare cells, exosomes, and cancer biomarkers, quantitative analysis of single cells, and system analysis of cell to cell communication.
