Jiuxing Li

From 2011 to 2016, Jiuxing worked in Prof. Chaoyong Yang’s lab at Xiamen University, China. During that period, his research focused on the synthesis and characterization of noble metal nanoparticles for biosensors. In the next year, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Michigan Technological University, USA. Jiuxing joined the Li lab in the fall of 2017. His research interests include selection and application of DNA aptamers for the detection pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Research Interests:

Aptamer selection, development of biosensors with noble metal nanoparticles, virus and bacterial detection
