About

Xiqi Peng is pioneering the frontier of biohybrid nanorobotics for precision cancer therapy, with a focus on designing autonomous, biocompatible microrobots that can navigate the complex physiological environment to target subcellular organelles and tumor microenvironments. His most cited work introduces an autonomous metal-organic framework nanorobot (95 citations) that achieves active, mitochondria-targeted cancer therapy—a breakthrough in intracellular nanorobotic manipulation. Peng further advanced the field with bacterial outer membrane vesicle nanorobots (43 citations), which leverage natural biological components for enhanced biocompatibility and enzymatic propulsion, addressing a key limitation of synthetic inorganic designs. His magnetically powered immunogenic macrophage microrobots (32 citations) combine magnetic guidance with immune cell camouflage for targeted multimodal therapy, overcoming immune elimination and limited therapeutic avenues. Collectively, Peng’s work has garnered over 170 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in bioinspired microrobotics. His contributions are notable for merging materials science, synthetic biology, and nanomedicine to create next-generation therapeutic robots that are both functional and biologically harmonious, offering new hope for precise, minimally invasive cancer treatment.
