More Info: Prof. Fan's research focuses on using various micro/nano photonic devices, such as high quality optical resonators, photonic crystals, optical fibers, and nanoparticles, for sensitive detection of biological markers in body fluids (like blood, saliva, or breath) that indicate the occurrence of various diseases such as cancers. These devices can also be field-deployed to rapidly identify biological or chemical threats, and to monitor the chemical levels that reflect the environmental changes. Professor Fan is also interested in bio-inspired photonic devices, where biological processes such as enzymatic cleavage and DNA hybridization are employed to control and manipulate light.

Emeritus Faculty


John A. Faulkner, Ph.D.
Professor, Biomedical Engineering
Professor, Physiology
Senior Research Scientist, Institute of Gerontology

2035 BSRB

Email: jafaulk@umich.edu


More Info: Professor Faulkner's research focuses on age-related changes that occur in the structure and function of whole skeletal muscles, of motor units, and of single skeletal muscle fibers of selected mammals, specifically, humans, rats and mice. In each species, his group has investigated the changes that occur in motor unit number, size and function in specific limb muscles throughout the life span and of the effects of training programs on the age-related changes. Specific knock-outs of selected metabolic pathways in the muscles of mice have enabled investigations of the role of reactive oxygen species in the age-related changes.


Research Areas: Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine.
