Welcome to the Cheng Lab at UCR! We study biosensor applications and material design through surface plasmon resonance, mass spectrometry, and high throughput approaches. The tools we develop are applied toward a range of biomolecular targets, including clinical biomarkers, environmental toxins and contaminants, and complex media. Located in the Chemical Sciences Building at UCR, we have access to a wide range of analytical and cleanroom facilities on campus. Feel free to learn more about our work through our website, or contact us for samples and/or more information.

Alex Lambert wins Best Poster Award at Biosensors 2021
August 2, 2021
Congratulations to Alex and coworkers for winning the Best Poster Award at the 31st World Congress on Biosensors (BIOSENSORS 2021). Their poster, “High-performing SPR biosensing with aluminum thin films”, coauthored by Alex Lambert, Santino Valiulis, Alex Malinick, and Ichiro Tanabe, was one of the 6 winners out of ~600 posters. Well done guys!
Also at this conference, Alex Malinick was invited to give an oral presentation on his work “Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging in combination with Ganglioside Microarray and Deep Learning for Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Biomarkers in Patient Serum”, coauthored by Alex Lambert and Daniel Stuart. Congratulations to all authors
