Intelligent Biomaterials

Prof. Dr. Zhe Liu is currently the Vice-Dean of Department of Medical Sciences and Engineering, the Director of Division of Intelligent Biomaterials, a full professor of Medical School of Tianjin University, China. He acquired his PhD from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007, and then joined the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS, Stanford University, USA) and Helmholtz Institute of Biomedical Engineering (RWTH Aachen, Germany) as a postdoctoral scholar. His research interests focus on the developments of advanced intelligent biomaterials, and their biomedical applications on stimuli-mediated non-invasive treatments/interventions against superficial malignant tumors (SMTs), central nervous system (CNS) diseases, image-navigated surgery, and visualized medicine in corporation with cutting-edge medical devices. Dr. Liu is also the Fellow of Royal Society of Medicine (FRSM), the Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), and the Fellow of Royal Society of Biology (FRSB). He holds the membership of Radiology Society of North America (RSNA), American Society of Chemistry (ACS), Chinese Chemical Society (CCS), Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), Chinese Medical Doctor Association (CMDA) and Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering (CAUME).
