Research Interest
We develop unconventional luminescence nanomaterials to address challenging biomedical problems. These nanomaterials possess anti-Stokes shift upconversion luminescence or superlong lifetime persistent luminescence. Therefore, they bring deep tissue-penetrating near-infrared (NIR) light for wireless NIR-optogenetic controlled cancer immunotherapy or enable time-gating-free ultrasensitive bioimaging, overcoming the constraints of conventional luminescence requiring short-wavelength excitation and giving rapid emission, i.e., the fluorescence. Our long-term goal is to explore the infinite potential of unconventional nanophotonics with favorable controllability and fascinating optical properties for more accessible and personalized nanomedicine. |
