Welcome to Cheng Lab

In May 2026, Jianpeng Ao and Ji-Xin Cheng published a Nature Methods study introducing FILM (fluorescence-detected mid-infrared photothermal microscopy), a technique that maps the chemical composition and metabolic activity of individual lysosomes in living cells and organisms.

Our recent work on using microwave to treat brain diseases has been highlighted in Laser Focus World’s 'Photonics Hot List'.
