Research areas
(1) Biosensing and medical testing
Using molecular biology, synthetic biology, combinatorial chemistry, and other means develop molecular recognition probe screening, design, and synthesis methods; Use natural biomolecules or mimic the structure and function of biomolecules to establish supramolecular structures, systems, or interfaces that specifically recognize or selectively respond to external stimuli. Combined with the new progress of molecular recognition, biomimetic interface, nanotechnology, new material technology and biosensing technology, new methods and technologies for bioanalysis, drug analysis, molecular diagnosis or nanoimaging related to biological or medical research; Research on multifunctional nanomaterials such as optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal, and establish an integrated platform for analytical sensing and detection technology and diagnosis and treatment.
(2) Nano-biomedical technology
Through the comprehensive research of marginal interdisciplinary disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology, effective methods for the preparation, surface modification and functionalization of nanomaterials are developed, and their applications in the fields of biological separation and purification, biological detection and biomedical fields are developed. Specifically, it includes research on separation and purification technologies for downstream production and analysis of biopharmaceuticals; research on magnetic micro-nanotechnology for biological sample preparation and analysis; Research on rare earth fluorescent nanolabeling technology for portable biodetection and bedside diagnostic instruments; Research on drug-targeted delivery and smart delivery materials for cancer treatment, as well as the development of nanotechnology for magnetocalotherapy and photothermal therapy for cancer.
(3) Biomedical materials
Biomedical materials are a new type of high-tech materials used to diagnose, treat, repair or replace human tissues, organs or enhance their functions, which are closely related to human health, and are the intersection and integration of chemistry, materials science and life science, including active materials from living organisms, materials implanted in vivo that can play a biological function or artificial materials that imitate biological functions. This direction focuses on the biochemical preparation and application of biomaterials, and explores the molecular biological characteristics of biomedical materials through the surface/interface chemistry of materials and the chemical and biological laws of application processes, mainly focusing on natural products and drugs, functional composite biomaterials, natural degradable biomaterials, biomimetic materials, intelligent and sensing materials, etc.
