Nankai University, 1983 Ph.D. Northwestern University, 1989 Shuming Nie is a Wallace H. Coulter Distinguished Chair and Proessor with the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering and he holds a joint appointment with the School of Materials Science and Engineering. Research Interests Research in the Nie Group develops advanced biochips, bionanotechnology, and multicolor imaging technologies for high-throughput studies of genes, proteins, and cells. The long-term goal is to integrate biotechnology, bioengineering, and clinical research for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment. A special emphasis is on translational cancer research, in which fundamental discoveries and new technologies (such as genomics, proteomics,and ultrasensitive optical detection) are applied to patient care.
