研究领域

Associate Professor Zhi Ping (Gordon) Xu’s research focuses on controlled preparation of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials, calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles, nanoemulsions (NEs), quantum dots (QDs), chemosensors (CSs) and nanosensors (NSs), and their applications in biomedicine and agriculture, including: (1) controlled preparation of these nanoparticles with the desirable size and size distribution. In some cases, these particles need to be homogeneously dispersed in aqueous solution; (2) in vitro and in vivo cellular delivery vehicles of chemotherapeutic drugs, such as pharmaceutical drugs, oligonucleotides, siRNA, DNA/RNA segments, heparin and proteins for the treatment of cancer diseases, neuronal diseases and cardiovascular diseases; (3) development of clay nanomaterials into effective adjuvant of protein vaccines against infectious diseases for humans, animals and plants; (4) monitoring diseases and treatment progress; (5) Food quality real-time monitoring.
