Recently, the research team of Professor He Xiaopeng from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering and the Feringa Nobel Prize Scientists Joint Research Center, ECUST developed an accurate detective device for influenza virus based on the “vibration-induced luminescence” mechanism, and the related research article was published online in Chem, a sub-journal of Cell.

This article is first co-authored by Dou Weitao, a postdoctoral researcher from the School of Chemical Molecular Engineering, ECUST and Dr. Wang Xiang from the Public Health Clinical Center affiliated to Fudan University and is corresponding co-authored by Professor Jonathan Sessler from the University of Texas at Austin, USA and Professor Zhou Dongming and Professor He Xiaopeng from Tianjin Medical University. The research work has also received careful guidance from Academician Tian He, and Dr. Li Na of protein Scientific Research Facility (BL19U2) on small-angle scattering experiment. The calculation simulation experiment was completed by Dr. Liu Tingting of Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and was guided by researcher Zhao Suwen. This research was financially funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, Frontier Science Center of Ministry of Material Biology and Dynamic Chemistry, Shanghai Science and Technology Major Project, International Cooperation Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, Post-doctoral Innovative Talents Support Program of Feringa Nobel Prize Joint Research Center, and Shanghai Super Post-doctoral Fund.
