Bioconjugation Catalysis inspired bioconjugation methods for site-selective modification of biomolecules that are useful tools for therapeutic protein development, glycoprotein modification and cell surface engineering of therapeutic living cells. Molecular Imaging New classes of fluorescent dyes and selective fluorescent probes for molecular imaging of biologically important molecules, rapid diagnostic kits for influenza virus and live cell surface imaging. Stimuli-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems Visible light-responsive and thermal-responsive linkers for the construction of novel drug delivery systems. Smart Food Technology New methods for selective removal of off-flavour aldehydes in alcohol-free beers and time-temperature indicators to record the exposure of food and pharmaceutical products to excessive temperature.
