Invited by Prof. Yang, Dr. Li Wei from  Massachu-setts Institute of Technology visited the College of Life Science and Technology of HUST, and presented an excellent speech entitled “Surface engineering of polymer materials and microdevices for biological applications”

Dr. Li Wei obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Wuhan University during 1999-2002. After that, he received the Master’s and Doctorial degree from  Toronto University, Canada. He started his post-doctoral research in MIT with supervisor Prof. Paula Hammond who is the deputy editor of ACS Nano and holds the researching interest in multilayer self-assembly interface on cell capture and release.

Dr. Li Wei his published many papers on Science, J.Am.Chem.Soc., Macromolecules, Lab Chip, Nanotechnology etc. And was invited to write review articles on Lab on a Chip, RSC Advances, Chemical Communications, Polymers, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Polymer Science B etc.

Dr. Li Wei mainly focus his interest in cell microenvironment and soft material, biological functional polymer materials surface of cells capture and release, biological application of high flux layer upon layer system, biomedical micro devices and so on.
