Professor Arnold Lining Ju

Associate Professor Arnold Ju received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, USA. In 2014, he joined the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases, Monash University, Melbourne as a junior postdoc; and relocated in 2015 to Sydney, to join the Heart Research Institute.In early 2020, Dr Ju joined the University of Sydney (USYD)’s new BME school as a senior lecturer and started up the Mechanobiology and Biomechanics Laboratory (MBL).

A/Prof Ju currently holds an Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship, working at the interface between mechanical engineering and mechanobiology. His team has pioneered multiple biomechanical nanotools, including blood clot-on-chip microfluidic devices (Nature Materials 2019), single-cell biomembrane force probes (Nature Communications 2018), and 4-D haemodynamic modelling (Nature 2021). Recently, he was awarded the prestigious mid-career Snow Fellowship.

His vision is to build novel platforms that integrate advanced biomanufacturing, high-throughput biomechanical manipulation, and artificial intelligence for biobank data processing. His track record spans developing, characterising, and evaluating innovations of 3D organoids and organ-on-chips, mechanobiology, imaging probes and biosensors, bio-nanotechnology, and image-based deep learning. These large facilities should provide significant benefits to interdisciplinary research in biofabrication, biomechanics and point-of-care microtechnologies.

Keywords: Mechanobiology, Biomechanics, Organ-on-chip, Biofabrication, Single-molecule biophysics, Thrombosis, Inflammation, Stroke, Haematology

By linking the mechanical forces behind blood flow and their effects on hematological proteins and blood clotting cells, Dr Ju has established a new field called 'mechanobiology'. His work finds better solutions to help diagnose, treat, and control blood clotting diseases.

To investigate mechanobiology at single cellular to molecular scales, Dr Ju has invented a nano-tool called the Biomembrane Force Probe (BFP). It provides precise controls and quantitative readouts in both mechanical and chemical terms, which is particularly suited for live-cell mechanosensing studies over the traditional methods in biochemistry and cell biology that are usually population-averaged and non-realtime. He also uses use single-cell biomechanical nanotools to study the mechanism of platelets that produce thrombi in a complex hemodynamic microenvironment.

Understanding the fundamental mechanobiology is not enough. Funded by NSW Boosting Business Innovation Program partnered with AXT Pty Ltd, Evident Australia and Lumicks, Dr Ju is leading an engineering team to produce a number of microfluidic devices and microvessel-on-chip platforms that can be used by clinicians to diagnose and predict blood clot risk factors for individuals and potentially telehealth. The neurologist of the NSW Statewide Telestroke Service and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital will combine the microdevices with ultrasound, CT and MRI for better prediction and pre-screening of people at risk for blood clots.

My Research Passion

I have always been fascinated with the universal forces that make things move and behave the way they do at any scale. My early fascination grew into an intellectual need to explain these phenomena, underpinning my interest in mechanical and biomedical engineering. It was my father’s heart attack in the first year of my PhD, where his blood vessels were occluded by clots, that taught me the shear force of blood flow has a critical effect. I was convinced that my research should solve real-world problems. These days I apply my expertise to understand how some specialised proteins in our blood can actually sense force to enable the development of new treatments and preventative measures that will reduce the loss of life.

Mechanobiology and its future application

Since Darwin's time, the influence of mechanical forces on organisms has been greatly underestimated by researchers. In recent years, more and more cutting-edge studies have shown that external mechanical stimulation has extremely important effects on the fate of cells, tissues and individuals. In decades of studying and working in the US and Australia, I have been committed to solving cardiovascular biomechanics at the single molecule level using mechanical and physics knowledge and engineering techniques. My expertise covers biomechanics, haemorheology and cardiovascular engineering.

I have establishedthe innovative 4Ms approach in Australia:Mechanics,Microscopy,Microfabrication &Mouse model by bringing together the fields of biomechanical engineering, imaging, microfluidics and molecular biology. In particular, I have developed the state-of-the-art pico-force (10-12Newton) nanotool called Biomembrane Force Probe (BFP, >US$500K) asthe first of its kind in Australiato study mechanobiology in cardiovascular systems.

The cutting-edge 4Ms approach allows me to investigate how haemodynamic force in blood flow regulates platelet thrombotic functions at the BME and CPC/HRI. It allows me to carve out an exciting niche to study thrombotic diseases (such as heart attack and stroke) in a more physiologically relevant environment, leading to new diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
