Welcome! Dr. Steven Schachter (Professor at Harvard Medical School, and Chief Academic Officer at CIMIT) visited NJIT campus to give a plenary talk at NJIT President's Forum on Nov. 16, 2017, and had a discussion with Dr. Lee on his biochip research for innovations. This interaction was a continuation of the discussion made at HI-POCT2017 (NIH, Bethesda, MD, Nov 8, 2017) conference showcase, where Dr. Lee's biochip won the Best Design Award.
Our biochip won the Best Design Award in IEEE-NIH 2017 Special Topics Conference on Health Innovations and Point-of-Care Technologies (HI-POCT2017), held at NIH Natcher Conference Center, Bethesda, MD (Nov. 6-8, 2017).
"MICROFLUIDIC BIOSENSOR FUNCTIONALIZED WITH GOLD NANO PARTICLES ON INTERDIGITATED ELECTRODES".
Mr. Zhuang successfully defended his PHD Dissertation on Nov. 30, 2017. His PHD dissertation is the study on "NITROGEN-DOPED GRAPHENE CATALYSTS WITH METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORK FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTIONS"
Debdyuti Mandal has successfully defended his Master's Thesis on ' Innovative Interdigitated Electrodes based-biosensing for the biomarker detection' on November 16, 2017.
Our biochip research was selected to the final round of University City Science Center - QED funding program ($200,000 per Award). At the final round, only a few proposals will be finally selected for funding out of 11 finalists who were already screened from the initial round out of 54 participants.
The QED program is composed of multiple steps to the final round presentation from the inital white-paper submission.
Our biochip research won New Jersey Health Foundation (NJHF) Innovation Award on 2017 cycle. The Innovation Grant Award is focused on the technology development of biochips for simple and fast disease detection and diagnosis.
Dr. Eon Soo Lee was elected a full member of Sigma Xi (The Scientific Research Honor Society), Full Membership since October 2017.
Our biochip research won NSF Innovation Corps Program Grant Award on Summer 2016. The Innovation Grant Award is focused on the technology development and the commercialization study to develop biochips for simple and fast disease detection and diagnosis.
NSF I-Corps is the core program activity within NSF for technology transfer to commercialization.

Platinum group metal-based (PGM) catalysts are widely applied in many electrochemical systems, such as PEM fuel cells or metal-air batteries, because of their excellent catalytic performance. However, due to the high raw material cost of PGM catalyst, there have been strong needs to reduce the material cost of electrochemical systems by developing non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts to replace PGM catalysts. In recent years nitrogen doped-graphene (N-G) has become one of the promising non-PGM catalysts.

A Review on Non-PGM Cathode Catalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell.
In recent years, people attach high attention to the energy problem owing to the energy shortage of the world. Since the price of energy resources significantly increases, it is a necessary requirement to develop new alternative sources of energy to replace non-renewable energy resources. Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology is one of the promising fields of clean and sustainable power, which is based on direct conversion of fuel into electricity.
