Chemistry of Materials Lectureship and Best Paper Award Winners Announced

The 2022 award winners Meng Li and Dr. Baolin Guo from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and the Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST). The award article is “Two-Pronged Strategy of Biomechanically Active and Biochemically Multifunctional Hydrogel Wound Dressing To Accelerate Wound Closure and Wound Healing“, which describes hydrogels which can assist wound closure and also incorporate biochemical functions, creating a multi-functional approach to wound management.

Dr. Baolin Guo
Xi’an Jiaotong University | XJTU · Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST)

Baolin Guo received his PhD degree in 2011 from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) under the supervision of Professor Ann-Christine Albertsson. He is now a professor at State Key Laboratory for Mechanical Behavior of Materials, and the Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST), Xi’an Jiaotong University. He has published more than 100 papers (citation >11000 times) with him as the first author and corresponding author, and he owns 8 patents. His research focuses on biomedical polymers including degradable conductive polymers for tissue engineering, multifunctional hydrogels for wound healing, rapid hemostasis materials, tissue regeneration, hydrogel adhesives, human motion sensing device and controlled drug delivery system.

Meng Li
Xi’an Jiaotong University | XJTU · Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST)

Meng Li received his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in medicinal chemistry from Lanzhou University, China in 2011 and 2015, respectively. He is currently a PhD candidate at the Frontier Institute of Science and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong University. He majored in biomedical engineering in the research group of Professor Baolin Guo from 2018. His main research interests are the design and synthesis of biomaterials for hemostasis and tissue repair.
