About

Junjie Zhong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and microfluidics, whose work is reshaping how high-throughput fluidic systems are designed and operated. His most-cited paper, “When robotics met fluidics” (2019, 39 citations), identifies a critical bottleneck in modern chemistry and biology: as fluid processing technologies have become faster and more precise, the human operator has become the limiting factor. Zhong’s major contribution lies in advocating for and developing robotic platforms that can replace manual handling in complex fluidic workflows—enabling the automation of tasks like gene editing and drug screening with unprecedented speed and reproducibility. By bridging robotics and fluidics, he addresses the growing demand for scalable, error-free experimentation in fields that rely on massive parallel processing. His work has been recognized as a key step toward fully autonomous laboratories, where robotic systems not only execute protocols but adapt to real-time data. With a citation trajectory that continues to rise, Zhong is establishing himself as a leading voice in the automation of life sciences, inspiring a new generation of researchers to rethink the role of human intervention in experimental design.
