We apply fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and biology to produce nanoscale materials, devices, and systems to understand basic sciences, advance technology, and impact medicine. In particular, we are interested in using DNA and lipids as functional polymers and building blocks to interface with metal nanoparticles, nanoclusters, carbon-based materials and hydrogels. Students will be trained on a wide range of synthetic, analytical, physical and biochemical techniques. We are currently interested in the following several research topics:

1. Bio-inspired assembly and nanotechnology
2. Targeted drug delivery/nanomedicine
3. Bioinorganic / Bioanalytical chemistry

 

March 30, 2013, four Nanotechnology Engineering co-op students from Liu lab gave talks at the SOUSCC conference at McMaster!

Jan 2013, we are part of an NSERC CRD grant team with EcoSynthetix.

August 2011, Dr. Liu has been awarded the Ontario Early Researcher Award!

May 2011, Dr. Liu's group is part of the CIHR-UK team for anti-bacterial research.
