Title: NEXT-GENERATION SOLUTIONS IN MEDICINE: OVERCOMING DRUG RESISTANCE IN CANCER. Abstract: Research in my laboratories is focused on uncovering the underlying root causes of cancer's resistance to drugs. Specifically, the work aims to identify and validate the mechanisms that drive this resistance. After elucidating the mechanism, we have designed new nano-delivery devices specific to the target […]

Title: Self-Powered Devices Based on Triboelectrification Speaker: Prof. Zong-Hong Lin   National Taiwan University Abstract: Designing devices with self-powered sensing function has become a popular research field since its emergence in recent decades. Triboelectrification occurs when two materials come into contact with each other, causing charge transfer that leads to oppositely charged surfaces; the amount of charge […]
