Short Biography
Prof. Shoujun Zhu earned his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Bai Yang at Jilin University, after a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University, he conducted further research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA. He was selected for the "National Young Thousand Talents Program" (2018-2019). Dr. Zhu has developed a series of molecular probes, clinical detection technologies, and diagnostic/therapeutic imaging equipment, enabling the in vivo visualization of disease processes, surgical navigation, and rapid intraoperative detection. He has published over 150 SCI-indexed papers, which have been cited over 30,000 times, achieving an H-index of 79. His most highly cited single paper has received over 4,000 citations.
Research Interest
The research of Prof. Shoujun Zhu focuses on in vivo imaging, with plans to develop functional/targeted molecular probes and imaging systems based on multiple material platforms to enable real-time visualization of biological processes in living organisms.
1. Design and synthesize multichannel near-infrared luminescent materials.
2. Optimize and construct efficient fluorescence-imaging devices.
3. Conduct in vivo and ex vivo visualization studies on animal models of major diseases.
