Dr. Chia-Lung Hsieh is currently a principal investigator at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, in Taiwan. His research focuses on uncovering the physical principles that govern nanoscale biological dynamics in living systems. His laboratory develops ultrasensitive scattering-based interferometric microscopy to directly measure molecular motion, organelle transport, viral dynamics, and chromatin remodeling in live cells with sub-millisecond temporal resolution. By integrating high-speed optical detection with quantitative fluctuation analysis, fluorescence microscopy, and biochemical perturbations, his team seeks to bridge single-particle motion and collective genome organization within a unified biophysical framework. Through these efforts, the lab aims to establish noninvasive, label-free approaches for decoding the physical state of living matter at the nanoscale.
Dr. Hsieh has received several prestigious awards in recognition of his scientific achievements and research potential, including the 20th Y. Z. Hsu Scientific Paper Award (2022), the MOST Ta-You Wu Memorial Award (2021), the Young Scholars' Creativity Award from the Foundation for the Advancement of Outstanding Scholarship (2020), as well as the Junior Research Investigator Award (2019) and the Career Development Award (2017) from Academia Sinica.
Dr. Hsieh earned his Ph.D. in 2011 from Caltech, where he studied nonlinear optics in nano-sized particles for bioimaging under Prof. Demetri Psaltis. He conducted much of his research as an exchange Ph.D. student in the Optics Lab at EPFL in Switzerland. Afterward, he did postdoctoral work on interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy and single-particle tracking with Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany. In December 2012, he joined IAMS as a PI and founded the Bio-Nano-Photonics Lab.
