Lu Shin Wong

Lu Shin Wong is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester. His research focuses on the intersection of biotechnology and materials science, with an emphasis on chemical molecular methods. His work involves synthetic chemistry, molecular biology, and measurement science to develop sustainable processes for chemical transformations and biocatalytic applications. Wong's research includes the study of enzymes such as silicateins for silicon-oxygen bond manipulation and the development of biocatalytic methods for sustainable oxidations and reductions. His laboratory also explores nanofabrication techniques and protein immobilisation for applications in biomedical devices and diagnostics. Wong has published extensively in areas such as catalysis, nanotechnology, and green chemistry.

Lu Shin Wong is a researcher at the University of Manchester specializing in Chemical Biology and Biological Chemistry. Their work focuses on developing innovative strategies for protein immobilization, such as selective covalent protein immobilization and site-selective immobilization catalyzed by phosphopantetheinyl transferases. Wong's research also explores the application of lithographic processes for biochip and biosensor fabrication, as well as the development of photoresponsive hydrogels for studying cellular responses. Additionally, they investigate enzyme cascades for modifying tyrosine residues in peptides and proteins, and the use of scanning probe nanolithography for creating nanostructured biomolecular interfaces. Their research has implications in biocatalysis, biosynthesis, and biotechnology.
