Bibliography:Xiao-Peng He (Franck) received his BS in Applied Chemistry (2006) and PhD in Pharmaceutical Engineering (2011) from ECUST. He conducted a co-tutored doctoral program at ENS Cachan (France) from Jul 2008 to Feb 2009 (advisor Prof. Juan Xie) sponsored by the French Embassy in China. Then he carried out his postdoctoral research with Prof. Kaixian Chen (SIMM, CAS) at ECUST from 2011 to 2013. He's now an associate professor at the Institute of Fine Chemicals, ECUST, where his research interests span from chemical glycobiology to optical and electrochemical sensors.
Lei Cui was born in Zaozhuang, China in 1984. He received his PhD in 2011 from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) under the supervision of Prof. Yufang Xu. Then he joined the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) as a lecturer, and was promoted to associate professor in 2014. Now he's working in Prof. Juyoung Yoon's group at Ewha Womans University as a postdoctoral researcher. His research interests focus on fluorescent sensors, drug delivery and biological functional materials.
Mrs. Guo-Rong Chen received her BS in Organic Chemical Engineering (1975) from ECUST. She conducted her research at the glycochemistry lab of University Lyon 1 from 1989-1991; she revisited the lab in years 1996, 1998 and 2002. Then she spent two years at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (CAS) as a visiting scholar. She was appointed as a professor at ECUST in 2001, and her research interests involve glycochemistry, medicinal glyochemistry, chemical glycobiology and green fine chemicals.
