Research Focus
Shuming Nie’s research is primarily in the areas of cancer nanomedicine, biomedical engineering, and image-guided cancer surgery. Major academic achievements include the discovery of plasmonic nanoparticles that are able to amplify the efficiencies of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by 14-15 orders of magnitude, his work on water-soluble semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for biomedical applications, and the development of smart nanoparticles and spectroscopic instrumentation for image-guided cancer surgery. The Nie lab has extensive experience in developing spectroscopic instrumentation and tumor imaging probes, and in translating new technologies to clinical applications.
