Asst Prof Zhao Wenting
Assistant Professor, School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology
 
Dr. Wenting ZHAO obtained her bachelor's degree in Bioengineering from Zhejiang University (China) and Ph.D. from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). After completing her postdoc training at Stanford University, she joined Nanyang Technological University to start her own lab in the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. Currently, her group aims to engineer the nanoscale organization of the biological systems and to uncover the nanoscale interplay between cells and the environment in both physiological and pathological conditions. Her research works have been published in Nature Nanotechnology, PNAS, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Nature Protocols, Accounts of Chemical Research, Chemical Communications, etc.
Dr. Zhao's research interest is at the nano-bio interplay with a particular focus on nanotechnology-enabled manipulation of cellular physical properties, and their impact on the fundamental understanding and therapeutic development of a variety of public health challenges, including cancer metastasis, viral infection, and neurodegeneration, etc.
