About
Dr. Xin Pang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of micro/nanorobotics and biomedical imaging, whose work has fundamentally advanced the in vivo application of small-scale robotic biodevices. Her key research areas include photoacoustic imaging, magnetic microswimmers, and targeted therapeutic interventions for infectious diseases. Dr. Pang’s most notable contribution is the development of photoacoustic imaging-trackable magnetic microswimmers for treating pathogenic bacterial infections—a breakthrough that addresses the critical challenge of real-time tracking and control of micro/nanorobots within living organisms. This landmark 2020 study, which has garnered over 255 citations, demonstrates how her team engineered biocompatible microswimmers that can be precisely navigated magnetically while being visualized via photoacoustic imaging, enabling minimally invasive treatment of deep-seated infections. Her work has significantly advanced the field by overcoming the longstanding limitations of in vivo micro/nanorobot deployment, including poor imaging contrast and limited therapeutic efficacy. Dr. Pang’s research continues to push boundaries in creating intelligent, theranostic micro/nanorobots that combine diagnostic imaging with targeted drug delivery, offering transformative potential for precision medicine and infection control.
