About

Dongmei Fu is a pioneering researcher in the field of micro/nanorobotics, with a specific focus on biohybrid and light-driven systems for biomedical applications. Her key research areas include the design and fabrication of photoelectrochemical and magnetic micro/nanomotors, as well as their use in cellular and neural modulation. Fu’s most notable contribution is the development of a photoelectrochemical TiO₂-Au-nanowire-based motor capable of precise, single-neuron activity modulation—a breakthrough that earned 68 citations and highlights the potential of micro/nanorobots for targeted neural interfacing. She further advanced the field by engineering a magnetic helical hydrogel motor that directs T cell chemotaxis (50 citations), demonstrating a novel approach to immune cell guidance. Her visible-light-driven TiO₂@N-Au nanorobot (30 citations) addresses a critical challenge in ophthalmology by penetrating the vitreous humor. Collectively, Fu’s work bridges materials science, robotics, and biomedicine, establishing new paradigms for minimally invasive therapeutic interventions and cellular manipulation.
