About
Xichun Zhou is a pioneer in the development of advanced bioanalytical platforms, with a primary focus on carbohydrate and protein microarray technologies. Their groundbreaking work has significantly advanced the study of molecular interactions, particularly through the creation of novel surface chemistries for high-throughput screening. Zhou’s most influential contribution, the 2005 paper on oligosaccharide microarrays fabricated on aminooxyacetyl functionalized glass surfaces, has garnered 81 citations and established a foundational method for characterizing carbohydrate–protein interactions—a critical area for understanding cell signaling and disease mechanisms. Building on this, Zhou engineered hybrid polymeric thin film-coated slides for antibody microarrays, enabling robust, multiple-protein immunoassays through nanoengineered three-dimensional polyelectrolyte thin films. This innovation, detailed in their 2007 work, demonstrates a mastery of self-assembly processes to create surfaces that enhance sensitivity and specificity in protein detection. By bridging materials science and molecular biology, Zhou has provided researchers with powerful tools for drug discovery and diagnostics. Their work remains highly cited, reflecting its lasting impact on the fields of glycomics and proteomics.
