About

Ziqiang Chi is a leading researcher in robotic cell microinjection, a critical technology for biomedicine that enables the precise transfer of materials into cells for genetics, drug development, and tumor therapy. His work addresses the longstanding limitations of manual microinjection—low throughput, operator variability, and inefficiency—by pioneering automated, high-precision robotic systems. Chi’s most cited paper, “A Review of Recent Advances in Robotic Cell Microinjection” (2020, 39 citations), provides a comprehensive foundation for the field, while his subsequent designs for high-throughput batch microinjection systems for zebrafish larvae (2022, 20 and 15 citations) represent transformative contributions. These systems leverage image-based potential energy and automation to dramatically improve injection speed and consistency, enabling large-scale biomedical experiments previously impractical with manual methods. Chi’s innovations are pivotal for advancing vaccine screening, gene editing, and drug discovery, with his work cited by researchers worldwide as a benchmark for robotic precision in cellular manipulation. His achievements position him at the forefront of lab automation, making him a key figure for students and scientists seeking to understand the future of high-efficiency biological research.
