Prof Qing Dai received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Cambridge. In 2012, he joined NCNST as Distinguished Professor. He received the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the Science and Technology Award for Chinese Youth in 2019. He is currently Distinguished Professor at the Chinese Academy of Science and fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In addition, he is Associate Editor of Nanoscale and Special Reviewer of several international famous Journals including Nature and Nature Materials.
Prof Guangjun Nie received his B.S. degree from Northeast Normal University in 1996, followed by an M.S. degree from Jilin University in 1999. In 2000, he was a Visiting Scholar of the Institute of Food Research, UK. In 2002, he obtained his PhD degree from the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 2002 to 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Jewish General Hospital, McGill University, Canada. Professor Nie joined NCNST as a Principal Investigator in April 2008. His main interests are in nanomedicines and the design of biology-inspired materials to overcome the current barriers in tumor therapy.
Prof Zhiyong Tang is Director of NCNST and was elected CAS member in 2023. Prof. Tang obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2000 from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry (CIAC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Department of Environmental Chemistry, Wuhan University in 1993 and 1996, respectively. As a Research Associate, he did the research in Dr. Roel Prins’s research group, Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich from 2000 to 2001. He also worked as a Research Fellow in Chemistry Department, Oklahoma State University, and in Dr. Nicholas A. Kotov’s group, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan from 2003 to 2006. He joined NCNST as a Principal Investigator in November 2006. His research focused on fabrication, assembly and application of inorganic nanomaterials in the field of energy and catalysis.
Prof Yuliang Zhao was elected CAS member in 2017 and fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in 2018. Prof. Zhao graduated from Sichuan University in 1985, and received PhD at Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1999. Before moving to Chinese Academy of Sciences from RIKEN/Japan in 2001, he worked with RIKEN colleagues and discovered the Element 113 (Nh) which is the first new element that has been discovered by Asian scientists and added in the Periodic Table of the Element. Prof. Zhao has made exceptional contributions in discovery of the basic knowledge of biological effects of nanoscale materials in vivo, and many of our understanding of nanotoxicity discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo behaviours were derived from his work.
