Tang Nanotechnology Lab is an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists dedicated to advancing research in biofabrication, nanomaterials, biosensing, and intelligent healthcare technologies. The lab specializes in three-dimensional stereolithography (3D SLA) printing of biomedical products, including microfluidic devices and biomimetic structures. We work on novel nanomaterials and advanced material discovery for electrochemical and portable biosensors, with the goal of developing accessible, accurate, and real-time healthcare solutions with broad societal impact. Our research also focuses on innovative medical diagnostic technologies, wearable sensors, multimodal data analysis, smart sensing systems, targeted drug delivery platforms, and user-centered intelligent designs for next-generation ambulatory healthcare applications. Through the integration of advanced engineering, materials science, and biomedical innovation, the lab aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical healthcare solutions.
