About

Hong Han is pioneering the frontier of bio-inspired robotics, with a focus on soft, wearable, and implantable systems that bridge the gap between machines and living organisms. Their work spans from macroscopic soft robots designed for human interaction to autonomous nanorobots capable of subcellular precision. A standout contribution is the development of an autonomous metal-organic framework nanorobot for active mitochondria-targeted cancer therapy (95 citations), which achieves controlled propulsion within cells—a long-standing challenge in nanomedicine. Han has also introduced enzyme-powered bacterial outer membrane vesicle nanorobots (43 citations), offering a biocompatible alternative to inorganic designs, and magnetically powered immunogenic macrophage microrobots (32 citations) for multimodal cancer treatment. Their most cited work, "Wearable and Implantable Soft Robots" (126 citations), highlights the transformative potential of soft robotics in medical applications. Additionally, Han has explored bio-inspired computing by mimicking ion-balance-dependent synaptic plasticity in body fluid for adaptive neuromuscular reflexes. With over 300 total citations, Han’s research is redefining the boundaries of robotics, nanomedicine, and bioelectronics, offering new pathways for targeted therapy and human-machine integration.
