Profile

Dr. Zhuxin Dong: Distinguished Professor and Director at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Supervisor of Doctoral and Master's graduate students, Director of the CSU Biomedical Engineering Research Center, Vice-President of Hunan Society of Biomedical Engineering. My current research focuses on the fabrication of solid-state nanopore sensors towards biomolecule sequencing technology, the investigation of biophysics behind the technology through TEM multi-slice and finite element simulations, the development of next-generation sequencing platform with ultrahigh resolution at single molecule level, facilitating engineered biological nanopores for clinical biomarker detection, and the utilization atomic force microscopy in various biomedical applications. So far, as the first or the corresponding author, Prof. Dong has published more than 50 SCI/EI papers in worldwide well-known scientific journals and international conference proceedings, including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Applied Surface Science, Sensors & Actuators A: Physical and IEEE Sensors Journal (Google Scholar)Candidates, who are enthusiastic about the above research areas, are highly encouraged to apply for Master's, Doctoral, and Postdoctroral Programs via sending a copy of the applicant's CV and the contact information of at least one recommendation reference to Prof. Dong (dongzhuxin@csu.edu.cn).

Research Group

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.
