Most recently, iChEM researcher, Prof. Chaoyong Yang from Xiamen University won Young Scientist Chemistry Award of the 5th Chinese Society of Chemistry-Royal Society of Chemistry in UK. Other young scientists also won this award, such as, Prof. Huisheng Peng from Department of Macromolecular Science of Fudan University, Prof. Jiangyun Wang from Institute of Biophysics of CAS, and Prof. Xingang Zhang from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of CAS.

Prof. Chaoyong Yang’s group established agarose droplets microfluidic single copy amplification methods and ultra high-throughput single-cell analysis platform and achieved a high-throughput screening for identification of biomimetic molecules and a highly sensitive detection method for detection of traceable diseased cells in the large number of normal cells.

Dr. Chaoyong James Yang received his B.S. (1998) and M. S. (2001) from Xiamen University, China. He studied for this Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida from 2001 to 2006. After completing his PhD dissertation, he conducted his postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2008, he became a faculty member of Xiamen University and now is the deputy director of Key Laboratory of Spectrochemical Analysis & Instrumentation, MOE at Xiamen University. He won a Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Students Abroad (2005) and is the recipient of American Chemical Society DAC Graduate Fellowship in 2005, CAPA Distinguished Faculty Award in 2012 and NSFC National Outstanding Young Investigator Award in 2013. His current research is particularly focused on molecular engineering, molecular recognition, high throughput evolution, single cell analysis and microfluidics.
