Su Zheng is an Associate Research Fellow, Assistant to the Director, Research Group Leader and Innovation Officer in the Department of Orthopaedics. His research focuses primarily on bone infections and immunology. He obtained his PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2019 under the supervision of Professor Tian Xingyou. During his PhD, he spent a year as a visiting scholar at Queen's University Belfast in the UK. He completed his postdoctoral training under the supervision of Director Zhu Chen and Professor Wang Yucai, after which he was promoted to Associate Research Fellow at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China in 2022. With over 12 years of research experience, his work focuses on four key areas: 1) the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic bone infections, 2) elucidating bacterial biofilm structures, 3) developing biofilm-based organ-on-a-chip systems, and 4) creating portable infection detection devices. The laboratory is interested in advancing research aimed at elucidating these complex interactions with a view to refining treatment strategies for managing infections and immune-mediated diseases and promoting public health security. This includes analysing the structural characteristics of bacterial biofilms, understanding pathogen-induced immune mechanisms, optimising immunomodulatory adjuvants, addressing chronic infections, advancing personalised medicine, strengthening public health strategies, developing antimicrobial test strips and using AI for disease prediction and treatment.
