Rate My Professor Huabing Yin

Professor Yin’s research is interdisciplinary, integrating microfluidics, optical technologies, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence to develop innovative technologies addressing healthcare challenges such as antibiotic resistance and medical diagnosis, as well as environmental sustainability. She is a pioneer in Raman-activated cell sorting technologies for single-cell analysis, enabling investigations in environmental microbiology, synthetic biology, cancer research, and rapid culture-free diagnosis of microbial infections. Her group develops organ-on-a-chip platforms for drug screening and tissue regeneration, and employs Atomic Force Microscopy and nanoscale thermal biology to study cell mechanics and interactions. She has published over 125 peer-reviewed papers, including in Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, and ACS Nano, with an H-index of 47 and eight highly cited papers in Web of Science. Key publications include “Rapid culture-free diagnosis of clinical pathogens via integrated microfluidic-Raman micro-spectroscopy” (Nature Communications, 2025), “Investigating communication dynamics in neuronal network using 3D gold microelectrode arrays” (ACS Nano, 2024), “MicrobioRaman: an open-access web repository for microbiological Raman spectroscopy data” (Nature Microbiology, 2024), “Emerging single-cell microfluidic technology for microbiology” (Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2024), and “Single-cell microfluidics enabled dynamic evaluation of drug combinations on antibiotic resistance bacteria” (Talanta, 2023). Professor Yin serves as a panel member for UKRI and European Union research foundations.
