About
Dr. Pengcheng Wan is at the forefront of biohybrid microrobotics, pioneering the use of microalgae as living, biocompatible engines for targeted drug delivery. His most-cited work, "Microalgae-driven microrobots: revolutionizing drug delivery and targeted therapy in biopharmaceuticals" (2025, 9 citations), establishes a transformative framework for harnessing photosynthetic autotrophic microorganisms—classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)—as self-propelled therapeutic carriers. By leveraging the natural motility and rich bioactive compound profiles of microalgae, Dr. Wan’s research addresses critical challenges in biopharmaceuticals, including precise localization, sustained release, and reduced systemic toxicity. His contributions bridge microbiology, robotics, and nanomedicine, offering a sustainable, scalable alternative to synthetic microrobots. With growing recognition for this innovative approach, Dr. Wan is shaping the next generation of smart therapeutics, where living microorganisms become programmable tools for precision medicine. His work holds profound implications for treating localized diseases, from tumors to inflammatory conditions, and positions him as a rising leader in bioinspired drug delivery systems.
