About

Zhenting Xiang is pioneering the frontier of nano- and micro-robotics for precision medicine, with a focus on combating infectious diseases and navigating complex biological terrains. Her most cited work introduces a groundbreaking "nanozyme-based robotics approach" to target fungal infections—a critical area highlighted by the World Health Organization as a top microbial threat. This research, garnering 48 citations, addresses the urgent challenge of improving antifungal efficacy while minimizing off-target effects and drug tolerance. Xiang further advances the field with her work on "Robotic Microcapsule Assemblies with Adaptive Mobility," which tackles the fundamental limitations of traditional magnetic microrobots. By engineering adaptive intersubunit interactions, her 2025 study (19 citations) enables these microcapsules to navigate rugged biological microenvironments with unprecedented collective effectiveness. Her contributions are reshaping how we approach targeted drug delivery and infection treatment, offering a transformative path toward noninvasive, precise therapeutic interventions. Xiang’s innovative synthesis of nanozymes and robotic assemblies positions her as a rising leader in biomedical micro-robotics, with her work promising to overcome long-standing barriers in treating deep-seated infections and complex tissue environments.
