Biography

Wei Zhang is a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University, where he specializes in the development of methods for cancer detection and treatment. His research interests focus on the discovery of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) as cancer biomarkers for early cancer detection, alongside the development of point-of-care techniques for detecting these biomarkers. He has designed novel delivery strategies for cancer therapies that utilize sEVs for targeted gene therapy. Dr. Zhang has made significant contributions to the field through his work on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based techniques, resulting in highly sensitive detection methods for various cancer biomarkers which are crucial for the diagnosis of pancreatic and breast cancer. His research has led to multiple publications in top-tier journals like ACS Sensors and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Dr. Zhang holds a PhD in Molecular Science from Macquarie University, where he studied cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles and their potential as emerging biomarkers and therapies for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
