About
Dr. Junjian Zhou is pioneering the frontier of biohybrid microrobotics for targeted cancer therapy, with a focused emphasis on glioblastoma (GBM)—one of the most intractable brain cancers. His research uniquely integrates cross-scale drug delivery, magnetic actuation, and deep learning-based control to overcome critical physiological barriers. Zhou’s major contributions include the development of diatom-based microrobots capable of combined chemical and photodynamic therapy, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2024 work (30 citations), which addresses the dual challenges of long-distance intravenous travel and blood-brain barrier penetration. He has also introduced a bioinspired magnetic microspike robot for long-term drug anchoring on gliomas, mimicking a honeybee stinger for sustained local release. To advance clinical translation, Zhou employs deep learning for automatic microrobot control and adaptive tracking, enabling precise non-contact manipulation within complex biological environments. His work on magnetic continuum robots for intracranial delivery of peptide nanophotosensitizers further expands the therapeutic toolkit for GBM photodynamic therapy. With a rapidly growing citation record, Zhou is establishing himself as a leading innovator in intelligent, controllable microrobotic systems for minimally invasive brain cancer treatment.
