任翔（Xiang Ren, Ph.D.）
2010年8月获得Johns Hopkins大学硕士（电子工程）学位；2016年3月获得Drexel大学博士（机械工程）学位；
2016-2018：弗吉尼亚理工博后；2018-2021：圣母大学博后；2021-2022：圣母大学研究员；2022至今：天津大学副教授；研究方向：生物医学微机电系统（BioMEMS）。
任翔博士拥有物理与电子工程背景，多年来从事复合型微流控与生物医学微纳传感器系统领域研究。开发了复合型微流控检测系统，探测细胞级和亚细胞级的生物机械、电子、光学特性，完善了多物理特性“生物指纹”的概念，广泛用于乳腺癌、前列腺癌、以及脑肿瘤的诊断和抗癌药药效分析，循环肿瘤细胞检测；同时将BioMEMS技术用于开发细胞级生物计算领域的应用，将合成生物学与微电子和生物机械领域结合在一起，开发出了一系列“后摩尔时代”的新型计算方式：半导体合成生物学计算（Semiconductor Synthetic Biocomputing, SemiSynBio）。成果先后发表在Lab on a Chip, ACS Sensors, Analytical Chemistry, Biomicrofluidics, Microsystems & Nanoengineering, Nano Letters, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, Sensors and Actuators B, Small, Advanced Intelligent Systems。在圣母大学期间，与著名学者、终身成就奖获得者Hsueh-Chia Chang和2019年美国总统奖获得者Pinar Zorlutuna合作开发MIX.miR传感器，并用姓名缩写（XR）命名，实现了高通量miRNA检测，用于研究急性心肌梗死。在Drexel大学期间，将增材制造技术结合在微流和合成生物学领域，使用聚合物制造了可进行光合作用的人造细胞，模拟植物细胞功能，吸收光能、CO2和水，合成葡萄糖，凭借博士期间这项成果，获得杰出奖。结合微电子学院的强项，将这类复合型微纳电子机械系统进一步演变成便携的智能化系统，延续拓展下一代半导体合成生物学计算的新概念、新原理和新器件。将传统的芯片实验室“Lab-on-Chip (LOC)”概念推进到未来的家庭芯片实验室“Lab-at-Home (L@H)”概念，同时延伸对COVID-19后遗症及对多器官长期影响的研究课题。
Xiang Ren received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China, in 2009, the M.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA, in 2010, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering and mechanics from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, in 2016. He was a Research Assistant with the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory and BioMEMS and Lab-on-a-Chip Laboratory, Drexel University. Dr. Ren received the Outstanding Promise Award upon graduation of Ph.D. from Drexel University. He continued as a post-doctoral researcher in electrical and computer engineering with the VT-MEMS Laboratory, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, and a postdoctoral and research scientist in aerospace and mechanical engineering with the tissue engineering laboratory, University of Notre Dame, IN. He is currently an assistant professor with the BioMEMS laboratory in the Department of Microelectronics, Tianjin University, China. His research interests are advanced BioMEMS, biosensing, microfluidics, synthetic biology, and additive manufacturing.
