Zhao, Jon (Xiubo) - University of Sheffield - Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering

个人简介

I obtained a BEng in Biochemical Engineering from China in 2003 and a PhD from The University of Manchester in January 2007, working on biocompatible polymers for gene delivery. Following my PhD I was a postdoctoral research fellow for 5 years at the University of Manchester working on peptide self-assembly, biointerfaces, and biosensors. In 2012, I joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield as a Lecturer. I was the first year tutor from 2013-16 and took on the role of Engineering Foundation Year Admissions Tutor from September 2016.

研究领域

Nanomedicine: Using de novo designed self-assembling peptides as antimicrobial and anticancer agents and vectors for gene delivery; developing silk/magnetic nanoparticles for drug delivery. Bioprinting: Reactive inkjet printing of biomaterials (e.g. silk) as tissue culture scaffolds and swimming devices and biosensors for biomedical applications. Biointerfaces: Biomolecular assembly and interaction at interfaces for biosensor applications.
