Biography
Wei Zhang has her expertise in nanostructures synthesis and bio-nanoscale recognition and interactions. Her nanoscale shape discovery framework enables the discovery of important biological and medical outcomes in nanoscale shape biology, which can be used to connect aspects of shape to cellular readouts and then in vivo. Her work sets the milestone in this arena and defines the procedures to be followed to produce robust science from the synthesis of nanoparticles to in vivo validation. The categorization of the particle shape in the space of the PCs is an effective tool that allows going quantitatively and reproducibly from the first to the last link of this chain.
