Hsian-Rong Tseng's Biography

Hsian-Rong Tseng, Professor, Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging, California NanoSystems Institute, University of California-Los Angeles

Dr. Tseng is professor in the Department of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology at UCLA. He also holds memberships of the California NanoSystems Institute, Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging and Institute for Molecular Medicine on the UCLA campus. Since he joined UCLA Pharmacology in 2003, Dr. Tseng’s group at UCLA has developed a series of nanotechnology- and microfluidics-enabled in vitro molecular diagnostic (IVMD) technologies. In collaboration with his physician colleagues, the goal of their joint team is to translate these new IVMD technologies from research bench to clinical practice.

This presentation will introduce a new category of NanoVelcro Chips capable of not only capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with high efficiency, but also enabling highly specific isolation of single CTCs immobilized on the embedded nanosubstrate without contamination by white blood cells (WBCs). The individually isolated CTCs can then be subjected to mutation analysis by next generation sequencing, providing insights to molecular mechanisms responsible for the malignant transformation in cancer.
