Nanoscale Horizons Emerging Investigator Series
Congratulations to our latest Emerging Investigator Dr Fangfang Cao (Beihang University, China)!
Since the launch of Nanoscale Horizons, the journal has had a clear vision to publish exceptionally high-quality work whilst acting as a resource to researchers working at all career levels. We continue to be impressed by the quality of the research published and at the same time are looking for new ways of recognising and promoting the outstanding authors behind articles published in the journal.
We launched our Emerging Investigator Series to showcase the exceptional work published by early-career researchers in the journal and regularly select a recently published Communication article to feature in an interview-style Editorial article with the corresponding author. We hope that the series will also benefit the nanoscience community by highlighting the exciting work being done by its early-career members.
We are excited to share our latest Emerging Investigator, Dr Fangfang Cao (Beihang University, China)!
Read our interview with Fangfang here
Dr Fangfang Cao is a professor at the School of Engineering Medicine, Beihang University. She received her PhD in inorganic chemistry from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Jinsong Ren and Prof. Xiaogang Qu, and later conducted postdoctoral research at the National University of Singapore under the mentorship of Prof. Xiaoyuan Chen. Dr Cao’s research centres on cell and microbial therapies for translational medicine, as well as nanocatalytic medicine based on artificial enzymes, bioorthogonal and plasma catalysis, and piezoelectric materials. Her pioneering work on constructing “nanozyme-probiotic hybrids” to improve intestinal disease therapy led to her selection for the 2024 MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 China (TR35). She currently serves as a Community Board Member of Nanoscale Horizons.
Congratulations to Fangfang for her excellent work! You can read her featured Emerging Investigator article from Nanoscale Horizons below.
