Qihang Ding 교수의 연구실은 주로 광역학 치료(photodynamic therapy, PDT)와 영상 진단을 융합한 나노의료 기술을 핵심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 특히, 근적외선 영역(특히 NIR-II)에서 발광하는 유기 나노소재를 활용해 혈뇌장벽를 효과적으로 통과하고 병변을 정밀하게 타겟팅하는 신소재를 개발하며, 감염성 질환과 암 치료에 응용 가능한 지능형 나노플랫폼을 구축하고 있습니다. 또한, pH 민감성, 고체 상태에서의 발광 증강(AIE) 특성을 지닌 광감지제를 설계해 병변 환경에 맞는 스마트한 치료를 실현하고자 합니다.

Rabies is a viral disease with an almost 100% fatality rate, primarily transmitted through bites from infected animals, with a long incubation period and no effective clinical treatments to date. Herein, we developed the first fluorescent nanotheranostic probe in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window capable of efficiently crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), precisely targeting rabies virus (RABV), and enabling safe photodynamic therapy (PDT). This probe is based on a novel NIR-II organic
Abstract Phototheranostics has garnered sustained attention due to its significant potential for revolutionizing conventional cancer treatment strategies. While being one of the most commonly employed strategies for constructing phototheranostic systems by engineering the integration of photosensitizers (PSs) into nanosystems, nano‐PSs face challenges including complexity in the preparation process, low delivery efficiency, and potential toxicity issues. Contrastingly, the burgeoning popularity
Bacterial infections significantly alter the local microenvironment, with acidic byproducts from bacterial metabolism leading to a pronounced pH reduction. Leveraging this characteristic, we synthesized and identified DHTPA, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent and pH-responsive aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer, for enhanced photodynamic therapy against bacterial infections. DHTPA aggregates exhibit a 2.1-fold increase in ROS generation under weakly acidic conditions (pH 5.5) comp
A simple yet powerful D-A type-based NIR-II fluorophore (MTF) with mitochondria targeting was constructed. This mitochondrial targeting dye MTF exhibited not only a photothermal effect but also photodynamic performance, and was further fabricated with DSPE-mPEG to generate nanodots for <i>in vivo</i> experiments, achieving strong NIR-II fluorescence tracing of tumors and impressive NIR-II image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT).
Micro/Nanorobots(MNRs)integrated with phototherapy represent an emerging approach to cancer treatment and hold significant potential for addressing bacterial infections, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and related conditions. By leveraging micro/nanoscale motor systems in conjunction with phototherapy, these robots enable real-time guidance and monitoring of therapeutic processes, improving drug delivery precision and efficiency. This integration not only enhances the effectiven
Bacterial pneumonia has garnered significant attention in the realm of infectious diseases owing to a surge in the incidence of severe infections coupled with the growing scarcity of efficacious therapeutic modalities. Antibiotic treatment is still an irreplaceable method for bacterial pneumonia because of its strong bactericidal activity and good clinical efficacy. However, the mucus layer forming after a bacterial infection in the lungs has been considered as the "Achilles' heels" facing the c
Abstract High‐voltage LiCoO 2 (LCO) can deliver a high capacity and therefore significantly boost the energy density of Li‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, its cyclability is still a major problem in terms of commercial applications. Herein, we propose a simple but effective method to greatly improve the high‐voltage cyclability of an LCO cathode by constructing a surface LiF modification layer via pyrolysis of the lithiated polyvinylidene fluoride (Li‐PVDF) coating under air atmosphere. Benefitti
Melanoma is characterized by rapid growth and high invasiveness, resulting in an exceptionally high malignancy and a significant propensity for metastasis. Current therapeutic modalities, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, exhibit limited efficacy due to severe side effects and immunosuppressive effects. Consequently, the development of precise and effective integrated therapeutic strategies is of paramount importance. Here, we report a multifunctional and multienzyme active nanosystem (FeCP
