Research Interests

Biomedical microfluidics, intracellular delivery, drug delivery, lab on chip, cellular engineering

Xiaoyun Ding’s research group centers on the innovation of cutting-edge micro/nano systems for cell based biomedical applications, including micro/nano manipulation of cell and fluid, cell membrane disruption and repair, and precise intracellular/subcellular delivery. Our research is highly interdisciplinary at the frontiers of micro/nano engineering, biomedical engineering, acoustics, electronics, and other applied physics.

Societal Impact

We strive to improve human health and life quality through innovations in engineering cell functions for cell-based immunotherapy and reducing costs of disease diagnostics and therapeutics.
