About
Jing Li is an innovative biomedical engineer and drug delivery researcher whose work sits at the exciting intersection of robotics, materials science, and pharmaceutical science. Li's research focuses on developing cutting-edge delivery systems for biologic drugs — a class of therapeutics with enormous therapeutic potential but historically limited by the challenges of oral administration. Li's most celebrated contribution, "Pain-free oral delivery of biologic drugs using intestinal peristalsis–actuated microneedle robots" (2024), has already garnered 75 citations in its first year, a testament to the field's excitement surrounding this breakthrough. Drawing inspiration from the porcupinefish's remarkable defense mechanism, Li's team engineered microneedle robots capable of harnessing the body's own intestinal peristaltic movements to achieve efficient gastrointestinal drug absorption — elegantly bypassing the destructive digestive environment that has long defeated conventional oral biologics delivery. This nature-inspired, patient-friendly approach eliminates the need for painful injections while dramatically improving bioavailability. Li's work represents a paradigm shift in how we think about delivering next-generation medicines, offering a vision where complex biologic therapies become as simple and accessible as swallowing a pill.
