Welcome to Soft Matter & Biophotonics Laboratory Lehigh University

Steven Ming-Tzo Wei's Research Interest

My course of study is the cell mechanics issues including: 1) the cell mechanics durning cell division; 2) the nonequilibrium microrheology in living cells; 3) the colloidal interactions in optical field and electrical field. The various optical microscopy techniques (micro- or nano-manipulation technology, spectrology, fluorescence microscopy) will be utilized in conjunction with the biological and biochemical methods to study cells and membranes mechanics focusing on the mechanical signal transduction. The correlation between the mechanical properties and the responses of cells with their biological and biochemical properties and physiological functions might be useful for the early diagnosis and effective therapy such as pneumoconiosis or atherosclerosis. It might allow us to have a deeper understand not only of the biophysics but also of the bio-mechanics for the related physiological functions and diseases.
