We are delighted to announce that Prof. CHEN Chia-Hung and Prof. YU Xinge’s projects have been awarded the Research Impact Fund in the year of 2024/25.

A project, led by Prof. Chen, titled “Uncovering Dynamically Functional Cells Using a Time-Resolved Intelligent Cell Sorter (TRIC) for Cancer Treatments” aims to develop a time-resolved intelligent cell sorter to measure the secretion trajectories of individual cells for high-throughput screening. The ultimate goal is to transform cancer treatment through precision medicine by isolating critical, dynamically functional cells for analysis.

Prof. Yu leads a project titled “Thin, soft, wireless, air and sweat permeable electronics for long term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring”. It aims to develop thin, soft, wireless and permeable electronic products for long-term ECG monitoring, through collaboration with leading research teams and industry partners.
