Dr. Shaopeng Wang serves as an Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering (SBHSE), the Biodesign Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors (BCBB), and the School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering at Arizona State University. He is endorsed to chair PhD programs in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biological Design, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics, demonstrating his interdisciplinary impact across multiple scientific domains.
Dr. Wang's research focuses on developing innovative biosensors and bioanalytical instrumentation for biomedical applications, with particular expertise in label-free optical detection methods. His laboratory has pioneered plasmonic scattering microscopy and other optical/electrochemical sensing techniques that enable real-time, label-free measurement of molecular interactions and cellular dynamics. His work bridges fundamental biophysics with practical healthcare applications, addressing critical needs in biomedical research, drug discovery, and point-of-care diagnostics.
Analysis of Dr. Wang's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward single-entity analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and the integration of artificial intelligence with optical sensing technologies. His research demonstrates increasing sophistication in quantifying molecular binding kinetics at the single-molecule level while expanding applications to clinical settings such as antimicrobial susceptibility testing, heart failure monitoring, and diabetes management. The progression from basic sensing principles to clinically relevant diagnostic tools represents a hallmark of his research trajectory.
Dr. Wang maintains an active research program with multiple NIH-funded projects including 'Plasmonic scattering microscopy for high-throughput in-situ quantification of molecular binding kinetics on single cells' (R01GM140193) and 'Evaluation of optical imaging as a single platform to determine size, charge, and mobility of biomolecules' (Lonza Biologics). His collaborative approach extends to partnerships with Mayo Clinic and industry leaders in the biosensor field.
Dr. Wang mentors a comprehensive research group comprising postdoctoral researchers, PhD students across multiple disciplines, master's students, and undergraduates. His laboratory serves as a training ground for the next generation of bioengineers and biosensor developers, with students working on projects spanning from fundamental biophysics to clinical diagnostics. The Bioelectronics and Biosensors Center at ASU provides state-of-the-art facilities supporting his team's innovative work in optical sensing and single-molecule analysis.
