Mer om författaren

Dr. Jianxi Xiao received his bachelor's degree from Wuhan University in 2003 and completed his Ph.D. at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 2009. He pursued postdoctoral research at Rutgers University and subsequently attained a full professorship at Lanzhou University's College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in 2012. Dr. Xiao holds the distinguished title of Cuiying Scholar at Lanzhou University and is honored with the prestigious "Feitian Scholar" professorship in Gansu Province. In addition, he serves as Director of Medical Collagen Engineering Research Center in Gansu Province and as Director of Joint Collagen Research Center at Lanzhou University. His research interests encompass the development and characterization of innovative collagen mimic peptides, collagen-targeting peptide probes, and collagen-based biomaterials. Dr. Xiao's extensive work has significantly advanced our comprehension of collagen's structure, function, and pathology, leading to the publication of over 70 academic papers in esteemed journals.
