Dejian Zhou is Professor in Nanochemistry, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and PI member of School of Chemistry, Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology and Bragg Centre for Materials Research, University of Leeds. He obtained his BSc and PhD degrees in Chemistry both from Peking Univ. (China) in 1990 and 1995, respectively. He pursued postdoctoral research at Cranfield (1997-00) and Cambridge (2000-07) before being appointed to a Senior Lectureship (2007), and then promoted to full Professor of Nanochemistry (2018) at Leeds. He is pursuing a polyvalent multifunctional nanoparticle (PMN) strategy to address some important unmet biomedical challenges, e.g. novel glycan-PMNs for probing biophysical and structural mechanisms of multivalent protein-sugar interactions for potential therapeutic interventions, as well as new multi-ligand functionalised PMNs for anticancer and antibacterial applications. He received the Chinese Chemical Society Young Chemist Award (1996) and serves as an associate editor or editorial board member for several Elsevier on Wiley journals. He has published >150 peer-reviewed journal papers, including >30 in leading high impact journals (IF >10, e.g. Nature Nanotech, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., Adv. Mater. etc) and two research highlights on the BBC.
