Rate My Professor Fujian Xu

Xu's research specializes in functional materials for drug and gene delivery, natural polysaccharides for wound healing, and surface modifications enabling antibacterial, antifouling, and biocompatible biomedical applications. Notable contributions include star-shaped copolymers as gene vectors, degradable dextran-iron oxide nanoparticles, NIR-propelled MOF@Au nanomotors, and tree-ring structured dressings for accelerated wound closure. Key publications encompass "Targeting endothelial tight junctions to predict and protect against chemotherapy-induced vascular permeability" (European Heart Journal, 2023), "Degradable one-dimensional dextran-iron oxide nanoparticles for medical applications" (Acta Biomaterialia, 2021), "Optical Imaging in the Second Near Infrared Window for Theranostics" (Small, 2021), and "Naturally Inspired Tree-Ring Structured Dressing Provides Sustained Wound Tightening and Accelerates Closure" (Advanced Materials, 2024). His scholarship has amassed over 2300 citations, profoundly impacting biomaterials for therapy and tissue engineering. Xu has earned the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (2013), Cheung Kong Distinguished Professor title (2014), Top Young Talents of National Special Support Program (2012), and Distinguished Young Scientists Program of Beijing Universities (2018). He actively engages in public lectures and committee service.
