6月7日上午，新加坡南洋理工大学赵文婷副教授应邀来我院做了题为“Membrane Curvature, a New Code to Hack Live Cell at Nanoscale”的学术报告。学院相关专业师生和省人民医院相关专家参加了此次学术报告。

会上，陶新永教授首先介绍了赵文婷副教授的学术经历、科研领域和学术成果，对赵教授来院进行学术交流表示热烈欢迎。报告中，赵文婷副教授结合自己的研究介绍了生物结构膜在开发纳米平台方面的应用和发展，以在活细胞中产生预定义的膜变形，并展示其对内吞、肌动蛋白聚合和核力学的影响。膜变形通常发生在亚细胞尺度上，是纳米级别的变形，细胞膜在许多过程中的变形十分有趣且具有研究意义。其研究实现了对活细胞中纳米级膜变形的控制操纵，这为揭示和设计复杂而动态的生物系统提供了新思路。

报告结束后，赵文婷副教授与参会的省人民医院专家以及师生进行了热烈的学术讨论和交流，并对青年教师和研究生的科研方向选择、研究方法等方面给予了很多宝贵的建议和指导。

Dr. Wenting Zhao joined the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University in August 2017. She graduated from Zhejiang University in China with a B. Eng in Bioengineering and later from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with a Ph.D in Bioengineering. After that, she did her postdoc training at Stanford University, working in both Prof. Yi Cui's group in Materials Science and Engineering and Prof. Bianxiao Cui's group in Chemistry. Her research interest is studying the interplay between biology and materials, with specific focuses on leveraging cutting-edge nanofabrication technologies to develop new methodologies and platforms for the manipulation of nanoscopic cellular features. Her research works have been published in Nature Nanotechnology, PNAS, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Chemical Communications, etc.
