About
Xiaofan Tang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of immunotherapy and microrobotics, whose work is redefining the frontiers of precision cancer treatment. Her primary research areas include CAR T-cell engineering, biohybrid microrobots, and multi-physical field actuation for targeted drug delivery. Tang’s most significant contribution is the development of the first magnetic–acoustic sequentially actuated CAR T cell microrobot (M‑CAR T), a breakthrough that addresses the critical limitations of CAR T therapy in solid tumors. By decorating CAR T cells with immunomagnetic nanoparticles and leveraging external magnetic and acoustic fields, her team achieved precise navigation through biological barriers and in situ antitumor immunoactivation. This innovative platform, detailed in her 2023 paper (84 citations), has garnered widespread attention for its potential to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Tang’s work stands out for its seamless integration of materials science, robotics, and cellular immunotherapy, offering a transformative strategy for treating previously intractable cancers. Her achievements have positioned her as a rising leader in the emerging field of live-cell microrobotics, with her research poised to inspire next-generation therapeutic delivery systems.
