Research Fellows

Qinghe Wu
Research Fellow
Qinghe joined our lab as a Research Fellow in 2024, focusing on molecular imaging and tumor theranostics. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering through a joint Ph.D. program between Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) and NUS. Prior to that, he earned his M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from SJTU (2017–2020). His research is dedicated to advancing nanotechnology- and radionuclide-based imaging and therapeutic strategies, with the goal of enhancing precision cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Tianyang Han
Research Fellow
Tianyang received his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology from Jilin University and completed his Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry and Physics under the supervision of Professor Shoujun Zhu. His primary research focuses on the design and development of organic small-molecule probes for Near-Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. He is particularly interested in exploring the supramolecular interactions between small-molecule probes and endogenous biological proteins to create highly specific and efficient imaging agents.
In addition to his work on molecular probes, Dr. Han has conducted research on carbonized polymer dots, further broadening his expertise in advanced functional materials. He is proficient in organic synthesis, liquid-phase analysis, and instrument maintenance, with his research contributing to the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools through innovative molecular designs and comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies.

Jing Li
Research Fellow
Jing joined our lab in 2024, focusing on molecular imaging and radiotheranostics. She completed her B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering in 2016 and furthered her studies with a PhD in the same field, both at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, concluding in 2021. Jing's research is centered on developing advanced imaging techniques and therapeutic strategies at the molecular level.

Mingsheng Zhu
Research Fellow
Mingsheng is a research fellow with expertise in nano-biological effects and machine learning. He joined our lab in 2025 after completing his Ph.D. in Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials at Nankai University in 2024. His research focuses on applying machine learning to study the permeability of nanoparticles in tumor vasculatures, with the aim of enhancing drug delivery efficiency.

Wenyao Zhen
Research Fellow
Wenyao joined our lab in 2024, she is a Research Fellow in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, National University of Singapore (NUS). She is a joint Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology, University of Chicago (Apr. 2022-Oct. 2024). She obtained her Ph.D. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Her research focuses on the design of multifunctional organic framework nanomaterials for biological applications.
