About
Xueji Zhang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of biomedical microrobotics, flexible electronics, and nanomedicine. His work spans the engineering of intelligent robotic platforms for targeted drug delivery, cancer therapy, and environmental remediation, establishing him as a transformative figure in the field of micro- and nanorobotics. Zhang's most influential contributions include the development of multifunctional conductive hydrogel-based flexible wearable sensors (480 citations) and groundbreaking work on enzyme-powered Janus platelet cell robots for active and targeted drug delivery (413 citations), which demonstrated that natural cells could be reimagined as sophisticated biocompatible delivery vehicles. His laboratory has pioneered cell robot platforms — including macrophage, sperm, and yeast-based microrobots — capable of navigating complex biological environments to deliver therapeutics with remarkable precision. His work on magnetic Janus cell robots loaded with oncolytic adenovirus (101 citations) exemplifies his vision of merging biological and synthetic systems for next-generation cancer virotherapy. Beyond biological robots, Zhang has advanced autonomous metal-organic framework nanorobots capable of subcellular organelle targeting and engineered piezoresistive pressure sensors with ultralow detection limits. With multiple high-impact publications across oncology, materials science, and robotics, Zhang's research is reshaping how scientists conceive of active, intelligent biomedical systems.
