Academic Achievements

Associate Professor JU Qiang firstly achieved protein detection of antibiotin under time resolution mode and its application in magnetic resonance imaging as contrast agent. He also developed the ultra-sensitive detection of DNA fragment where the gene could cause human myasthenia via the application of Upconversionnanocrystals. In addition, he for the first time prepared the ionic liquid modified rare-earth elements doped NaGdF₄nano-crystals and achieved the transformation of NaGdF₄nano-crystals from cubic phase to hexagonal phase. Recently, he has published papers onJournal of the American Chemical Society, Small, Journal of Materials Chemistry B,Nanoscale, etc.
