[Graduation] Wang Yaoyi defended his thesis

Dec. 2020

Congratulations to the newly minted PHD from our group. Dr. Wang developed several nanomedicines based on the biomimetic poly(L-phosphotyrosine). We wish him success in his next journey.

[ACTIVITY] Party time!

Sept. 2020

To celebrate the coming Moon Festival and National Day of China, our group switches to the party mood by doing BBQ, badminton, board games, karaoke, hiking, and of course drinking.

[AWARDS] Lu Jianhua was awarded ChemStar for excellence in graduate research

Sept. 2020

After two rounds of contests, Miss Lu Jianhua, a third-year graduate student in our group, was awarded the ChemStar, one of the most prestigious awards of CCME for outstanding graduate research.

This is the second student of our group to win this award and we expect more in the future.

Congratulations to her.

[Graduation] Guangqi Wu and Wei Xiong Thesis Defense

June, 2020.

Guangqi and Wei successfully passed the thesis defense on June 08th, 2020. Guangqi developed chemistry and materials applications for selenopolypetides, whereas Wei focused on stimuli-responsive polypeptides and polyesters.

Congratulations to the two newly minted doctors! Well-done!

Both Guangqi and Wei will continue their PHD research at PKU  as postdocs.

[PUBLICATIONS] LU Jianhua’s paper published in JACS

Jan. 2020.

The magic of FROZEN: rapid and highly controlled grafting-from synthesis of protein-polydisulfide conjugates. We developed an extremely simple solution to a great challenge in protein-polymer conjugation. The chemistry is so simple that even biologists can do it well. The conjugates made by this method is potentially useful in intracellular protein delivery, traceless release and protein purification. A patent has been filed besed on this technology.
