Flinn Foundation Grant

Our Research Corporation Scialog Collaborative Award entitled “Identifying and Detecting Diseases Prior to Physical Presentation of Symptoms” has been funded through generous support by the Flinn Foundation. This project is in collaboration with Prof. Laura Sanchez at UIC.

Light: Science and Applications Outstanding Paper Award

Our 2016 paper on label-free single molecule detection has been given an Outstanding paper of Light: Science and Applications award. Judith Su has been invited to attend the award ceremony and give an invited talk during the opening ceremony of Light 2019 (Changchun, China) which is organized by the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Light: Science & Applications’ Editorial Office.
