| Biography | |
| Dr. Xu obtained his B.Sc. degree in Department of Intensive Instruction of Nanjing University (2002). From 2002 to 2004, he studied at HKUST under the direction of Prof. Bing Xu (Brandeis University) about the synthesis and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles for protein separation. From 2004 to 2005, he was a visiting scholar in the molecular imaging program at Stanford with Prof. Jianghong Rao, designing self-illuminating quantum dots for cancer imaging. From 2005 to 2009, he did his PhD at Prof. Shouheng Sun’s group of Brown University, focusing on the synthesis of novel platforms of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications including drug delivery and molecular imaging. From 2009-2012, he did his postdoc with Prof. Jeffrey M. Karp at HST in the field of stem cell engineering and drug delivery.Awards2012 Thousand Young Talents Program, China2009 Joukowsky Outstanding Dissertation Prize, Brown University 2009 Potter Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis, Brown University 2008 Vince Wernig Fellowship, Brown UniversitySELECTED PUBLICATIONS IN PAST 3 YEARS1.
