2017年12月13日,来自南洋理工大学的王明锋博士受邀来我中心做了题为《Bioinspired Fluorescent Polymers Synthesis, Processing and Applications》的学术讲座。讲座在410多功能报告厅举行。
讲座伊始,王博士给大家介绍绿色荧光蛋白,并且通过对该蛋白的研究,提出了通过调控分子量和空间结构来阻止荧光淬灭的方略。接着王博士介绍了一系列利用聚ε-己内酯对荧光分子进行修饰来模拟蛋白,从而提高荧光性能。他设计合成的荧光聚合物,具有较高的荧光寿命,较长的荧光稳定性,为进一步的生物应用创造了条件。王博士这种利用生物分子进行研究模拟的研究思路给中心师生开阔了视野。

在问答环节,中心的师生也针对自己感兴趣的问题进行提问,王博士均依次解答。王教授的设计思路对于中心所有同学的科研都具有深刻的启发以及指导意义,让在场的师生受益匪浅。讲座在热烈的掌声中圆满结束。
王明锋博士简介:
Mingfeng Wang is currently a Nanyang Assistant Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He received his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry at Jilin University in 2001, followed by his M.Sc. degree in Polymer Chemistry and Physics under the supervision of Prof. Xi Zhang. In 2004, he joined Prof. Mitchell A. Winnik’s group at the University of Toronto and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Chemistry and Materials in 2009. Then he was awarded with a Postdoctoral Fellowship supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and moved to Prof. Fred Wudl’s group at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He joined the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University in 2012. His current research focuses on polymeric materials with bioinspired structures and advanced functions for optoelectronic and biomedical applications.
