About
Dr. Rongbo Che is pioneering the frontier of biohybrid microrobotics and immunoengineering, with a focus on harnessing photosynthetic microorganisms to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Their most cited work introduces engineered algae microrobots as photosynthetic living materials that actively generate oxygen to alleviate tumor hypoxia, thereby enhancing dendritic cell-mediated T cell activation and anti-tumor immunity. This innovative approach directly addresses a critical bottleneck in cancer immunotherapy—the lack of immune cell infiltration and proliferation in hypoxic tumors. With 23 citations since 2024, this research has rapidly garnered attention for its elegant fusion of synthetic biology, materials science, and immunology. Dr. Che’s contributions extend beyond this flagship study, reflecting a broader commitment to developing living therapeutic systems that can sense and respond to physiological cues. Their work stands out for its translational potential, offering a scalable platform for combining microalgae’s natural photosynthetic capacity with immune cell engineering—a paradigm shift that could redefine how we deliver oxygen and immunostimulatory signals directly to tumors. For students and researchers, Dr. Che exemplifies how interdisciplinary creativity can unlock new solutions in cancer therapy.
