Research in the Yu lab is focused on designing nanomaterial-based toolkits to image, measure and control cellular dynamics. Our research so far has capitalized on Janus particles, particles that have two “faces” like the Roman god Janus. We exploit the surface anisotropy of Janus particles to understand immune cell functions, from phagocytosis to T cell stimulation, and to probe cellular dynamics in multi-dimensions beyond that has been done conventionally.
