About

Yanmin Feng is an emerging researcher working at the cutting edge of biomedical microrobotics, with a particular focus on cell-based robotic systems, magnetic actuation, and microfluidic technologies for medical applications. Feng's work centers on developing innovative millirobot and cell-robot platforms capable of performing precise biological tasks at the microscale, from cell injection in oocytes to targeted cancer therapy. Among Feng's most notable contributions is the development of a millirobot capable of donor cell suction, delivery, and injection within microfluidic chips — a significant advancement in assisted reproductive technology and cellular manipulation. Perhaps most impactful is Feng's pioneering work on magnetized cell-robots, which harness macrophages as biological templates, controlled via magnetic fields to actively seek and destroy cancer cells in both in vitro and in vivo environments. This approach elegantly merges the natural tumor-targeting behavior of macrophages with precision magnetic control systems. Feng has also advanced multimode cell-robot conversion systems capable of transporting microspheres and biological cells with high positional accuracy. With a growing citation record across publications in prestigious journals including *Small*, Feng's research represents a promising frontier in minimally invasive targeted therapies and intelligent biomedical micromanipulation.
