Shaoyi Jiang

Shaoyi Jiang is the Boeing-Roundhill professor of chemical engineering and an adjunct professor of bioengineering. His research interests include biomolecular interfaces, biomaterials, and biosensors. The Jiang Lab aims to provide a fundamental understanding of molecular-level non-fouling mechanisms and to develop biocompatible and environmentally benign non-fouling materials using molecular design principles. He is an inventor on more than eight patent families in the field of non-fouling polymers. Jiang’s technologies have been licensed to an MIT start-up company, Semprus Biosciences. Jiang has also licensed the intellectual property to start his own company, Zwitter Technologies, which is developing surface coatings based on zwitterionic thin films that are highly resistant to fouling. Zwitter Technologies has already received Phase I and II SBIR grants.
