• Noninvasive wearable electroactive pharmaceutical monitoring for personalized therapeutics

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2020 · 113 citations

  ∼ 0.94). Through integration of the engineered sensing interface within a custom-developed smartwatch, and augmentation with a dedicated analytical framework (for redox peak extraction), we realized a wearable solution to seamlessly render drug readouts with minute-level temporal resolution. Leveraging this solution, we demonstrated the pharmacokinetic correlation and significance of sweat readings.

• A Comprehensive Examination of Severely Ill ME/CFS Patients

  Healthcare · 2021 · 38 citations

  Senior authorCorresponding

  One in four myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients are estimated to be severely affected by the disease, and these house-bound or bedbound patients are currently understudied. Here, we report a comprehensive examination of the symptoms and clinical laboratory tests of a cohort of severely ill patients and healthy controls. The greatly reduced quality of life of the patients was negatively correlated with clinical depression. The most troublesome symptoms included fa…

• Spectral tweezers: Single sample spectroscopy using optoelectronic tweezers

  Applied Physics Letters · 2024-02-12 · 21 citations

  articleOpen access

  A scheme that combines optoelectronic tweezers (OET) with spectroscopic analysis is presented. Referred to as spectral tweezers, the approach uses a single focused light beam that acts both as the trapping beam for OET and the probe beam for spectroscopy. Having simultaneous manipulation and spectral characterization ability, the method is used to isolate single micro-samples from clusters and perform spectral measurements. Experimental results show that a characteristic spectral signature can b…
