About

Chunyuan Gan is a leading researcher in the field of biomedical micro-robotics, with a primary focus on ferrofluid-based robots for targeted disease therapy. Her work centers on developing deformable, biocompatible microrobots that can navigate complex biological environments for minimally invasive medical interventions. Gan’s major contributions include the creation of a ferrofluid microrobot with omnidirectional self-adaptive mobility (31 citations), which represents a breakthrough in accessing hard-to-reach areas of the human body. She has also pioneered the integration of photothermal properties into ferrofluid robots for targeted tumor therapy (19 citations), and extended this work to the near-infrared-II window for deeper tissue penetration (13 citations). Her research on non-contact manipulation using optoelectronic tweezers (8 citations) and precise control in 3-D vascular models (3 citations) further demonstrates her versatility. Notably, Gan’s work bridges the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo applications, addressing critical challenges in biocompatibility and control. Her innovative approaches have positioned her as a key figure in advancing magnetic soft robotics for clinical use, with her papers collectively garnering significant attention in the field.
