Name of Research Group: Nano-Bio Technology Laboratory
Description of Research Group:Biomedical engineering, the most rapidly growing of engineering disciplines from a global perspective, is now playing an irreplaceable role in the enhancement of human lifespan and its quality. At our Nano-Bio Technology Laboratory, we explore multi-disciplinary research and cutting-edge technology so that we bridge medicine and technology. Specifically, we are dedicated to achieving similar success with polypeptide sequencing to what nanopore sequencing has done to DNA so that there will be a possibility that we understand the causes of protein primary structure related diseases better and consequently come up with a solution. Moreover, solid-state nanopores have huge potential in single cell secretion detection because significant clinical biomarkers can be selective thanks to nanopore's adjustable geometry. We are also interested in utilizing electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy in various biomedical applications, such as synthetic biology and virology, to aid clinic treatment.
Team members Introduction:Dr. Zheyuan Zhou joins Prof. Dong’s group as a postdoc in the School of Basic Medical Science of Central South University in 2024. He obtained his PhD degree from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in July 2023 and then was engaged in RTH-ITF program issued by Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Commission. During his PhD and post-doctoral career, he focused on the research fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and articular cartilage regeneration, mastered the technical skills of materials characterization and biological measurements, and participated many academic conferences for the poster and oral presentation. Currently, he is focusing on the research of biomechanics and biomaterials in Prof. Dong’s lab. Publication： Zhang, H., Zhou, Z., Zhang, F., & Wan, C. (2024).
