Revolutionary advances in analytical chemistry coupled with compelling problems in biology have led to the emergence of the interdisciplinary field of bioanalytical chemistry. The long term goal for this laboratory is to understand both qualitatively and quantitatively chemical composition, structure and interactions in biological systems down to single cell or even single molecular level. Three major areas are emphasized in our laboratory. The first area examines the activity, composition and distribution of chemicals in a living cell using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) during a biological process such as neurotransmission. The second area uses the unique sensitivity and selectivity of ultramicroelectrode (UME) to detect and image the activity difference of a cell and its response to external stimuli, especially to drugs. With the advantage of both SERS and SECM, the combination of these two techniques will be much efficient to reveal more information during a single experiment than other techniques.
