About

Xiyu Yang is at the forefront of biomedical micro-robotics, pioneering the use of micro/nanorobots (MNRs) for precision drug delivery. Their research focuses on overcoming the fundamental limitations of traditional therapies by engineering miniature robots that can actively navigate the body rather than relying on passive blood circulation. Yang’s major contributions include the development of magnetic-driven hydrogel microrobots for osteosarcoma treatment, demonstrating a synthetic lethality strategy that enhances chemotherapy efficacy. Their work also explores electrically controlled MNRs and the use of diverse biological carriers, addressing critical challenges in power supply and targeting specificity. With a growing body of highly cited work—including papers accumulating 17, 10, and 7 citations—Yang’s research is shaping the future of active targeting in oncology. Their innovative approach to combining hydrogel materials with magnetic actuation represents a significant step toward clinical translation, offering new hope for treating aggressive cancers like osteosarcoma. As the field rapidly advances, Yang’s contributions continue to push the boundaries of what micro-robots can achieve in biomedicine.
