Research

Jin-Yu Shao works to develop new techniques in cellular and molecular engineering, especially in biomechanics and protein-protein interactions. The Micropipette Aspiration Technique (MAT) developed by his group has the unique capability of applying femtonewton- to nononewton-level forces to single proteins and cells. He also works to further understand infectious and inflammatory diseases by combining theoretical modeling and experimental approaches.
