On July 5, 2024, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology announced the results of the 2024 Provincial Natural Science Foundation. Prof. Jinsong Han from our institute was awarded the distinguished young scholar’s fund. Project Title is “Dual Enzyme Coupling Sensor Array for Rapid Identification of Multiple Bacteria”.
The “Jiangsu Distinguished Young Scholars Fund” aims to cultivate distinguished young researchers. It supports outstanding young researchers in the province to carry out innovative research that addresses the needs of Jiangsu Province and China, fostering top-tier scientific leaders and innovation teams. This significantly enhances the influence of our province's basic research and the independent innovation capabilities in several key scientific fields.
Introduction of Project Leader Jinsong Han:
Prof. Dr. Jinsong Han, Doctoral Supervisor, obtained Youth Thousand Talents Program (2019), Jiangsu Provincial Double Innovation Talents (2019), Leading Scholar in Pharmaceutical Development (2022). He is dedicated to the develop of novel optical sensor arrays, biosensors, and chemical sensors. Aided by artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques, the methods have been successfully used for early diagnosis of clinical diseases (e.g. sepsis, urinary tract infections, Alzheimer's disease, etc.), as well as in the fields of food safety, food authenticity, pesticide residues, environmental hazards, drug screening, public safety and human health.
In recent years, he has led several key projects, including 2 National Natural Science Foundation projects and a national major talent engineering project. He has published more than 40 papers in international journals such as Chem, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (3 papers), and PNAS. He has filed for more than 20 international patents, three of which have been successfully commercialized. His work has been interviewed and reported by over 100 of the world's leading media outlets, including Science Magazine, Cell Magazine, BBC, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Xinhua News Agency.
