Biography
Dr. Duan received his B.S. and M.S. (with Prof. Ming Jiang) degrees from Fudan University in Chemistry and Macromolecular Sciences. He completed his PhD in Physical Chemistry under Prof. Helmuth Möhwald at Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and Postdam University in 2005. After that, he moved to the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology as a Postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Shuming Nie. Before joining the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering in Sep 2009, he was an Assistant Professor (research track) in Biomedical Engineering at Emory University.
Research Interest
His current research is focused on two major areas including nanomaterials engineering and biomedical nanotechnology. The goal of this work is to develop new technological platforms for early detection and targeted therapy of major human diseases such as cancer. Ongoing projects in his group include semiconductor quantum dots for live cell imaging and biomarker profiling, multifunctional nanoparticles for integrated cancer imaging and therapy, self-assembled nanostructures for disease-targeted drug/gene delivery and ultrathin films based arrays for ultrasensitive biodetection.
