FANG Xiaofeng

Dr. FANG Xiaofeng is a Research Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). He leads a research group focused on developing advanced materials and imaging techniques for biomedical applications. His career includes postdoctoral training at SUSTech (2017-2019) following doctoral studies at Jilin University.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physical Electronics, Jilin University (2014-2017)
• M.S. in Organic Chemistry, Jilin University (2012-2014)
• B.S. in Chemistry, Jilin University (2008-2012)

Research Focus: Dr. Fang's work spans three interconnected domains: 1) Design and synthesis of organic functional materials with tailored optical properties; 2) Super-resolution imaging techniques for biological systems; and 3) Integrated biosensing and phototherapy platforms. His research bridges materials chemistry, optical engineering, and translational medicine.

Publication Trends: His recent articles (2021-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on polymer-based nanoplatforms for advanced bioimaging and therapy. Key innovations include NIR-II probes for deep-tissue imaging, photoswitchable materials for super-resolution microscopy, and targeted nanoconjugates for cancer theranostics. The work consistently integrates materials innovation with biomedical problem-solving.

He currently leads a research group developing molecular probes and bio-optical imaging technologies. The laboratory focuses on four key areas: molecular probe design, bioanalysis and biosensors, optoelectronic functional materials, and biomedical applications. The team actively recruits postdoctoral researchers for cross-disciplinary projects.
