Because proteins cannot be amplified, current protein analysis and sequencing relies on mass spectroscopy that generally needs 1 billion copies of the proteins. The low sensitivity of mass spectroscopy leads to a huge challenge in detection of low-abundance proteins in human biofluids and thus spurs extensive research interests in single-molecule protein sequencing. Jian-an developed a plasmonic nanopore system by electro-plasmonic trapping of a gold nanoparticle in a gold nanopore to generate single SERS hot spot. The nanopore was so sensitive and localized that it not only distinguished single DNA bases in single single-strand DNA [1] but also discriminated single amino acid residue in single polypeptide [2]. In addition to the sub-molecular resolution, the plasmonic nanopre system has demonstrated single-molecule detection of 10 different types of amino acids by their Raman spectra [2], which has paved a completely new way to single-molecule protein sequencing. To apply the nanopore system to single-molecule sequencing, a microfluidic method will be integrated to stretch the DNA or protein molecules and slow down their passage through the nanopore.

Wearable non-invasive molecular sensing technology will be an essential part for future personalized medicine. Current non-invasive wearable devices monitor heart rate and other physical, kinetic values such as temperature and body gestures, steps and location. It would be of tremendous added value if they could identify and quantify health factors that take part in control of human physiology, such as sweat glucose molecules that reflects blood glucose level. Failure to control blood glucose increases Body Mass Index, resulting in tremendous health risks in current society. This project aims to develop a wearable optical sensor on skin by integrating an electro-plasmonic chip [1] into an optical watch that together allows controllable sweat stimulation and on-watch continuous detection of the sweat glucose. When fully implemented, we plan to explore integration of an spectrometer into the watch and extend the lab-in-a-watch sensor to detect extracellular vesicles in sweat.

Despite of the single-molecule sensitivity, SERS based on nanoparticles suffered from signal irreproducibility that hindered its application to practical biosensing. Jian-an's doctoral work developed plasmonic nanopillars that exhibited propagating surface plasmon to generate wide-range hot spot for stable and reproducible SERS detection of double-strand DNA [1]. Consequently, he and his colleagues embedded the nanopillars in a microfluidic channel to demonstrate quantitative detection of DNA at different concentrations [2] and further real-time monitoring of chemical reactions [3]. The microfluidic nanopillar system will be functionalized with capturing ligands to capture and quantify the protein biomarkers in human biofluids, such as serum and sweat.
