cyanotoxin monitoring from environmental water, molecuar biotechnology and diagnostics; antibody enginneering; synthetic antibody library; phage display technology, immunossay development.
We isolated high affinity anti-immunocomplex antibodies and developed several improved immunoassay based tools to detect cyanotoxins. Currently we are applying our methods to monitor local lakes.
