2023年9月21日下午，我院杰出院友、新加坡国立大学刘斌院士应邀作为南京大学“戴安邦学术讲坛”嘉宾，为学院师生作了题为“Accelerating Biomedical Research through AIEgen Innovation”的精彩学术报告。本次报告由黎书华经理主持，黎经理首先介绍了刘斌院士的简历和学术成就，然后由院党委书记朱成建代表学院向刘斌院士颁发了“戴安邦学术讲坛”纪念铭牌。我院多个学科的师生参加了报告会。
刘斌院士给大家介绍了具有诱导聚集发光特性的荧光材料（AIEgens）在生物医学领域的创新性应用报告。在报告中，刘教授总结他们课题组近几年在开发用于生物传感和成像的新型AIEgens方面的工作。与量子点和小分子染料相比，具有不同配方和表面功能的AlE点荧光探针在癌细胞的无创检测、细胞长期追踪和血管成像方面显示出优异的特性。此外，研究发现 AlEgens 在聚合状态下具有高亮度和高效活性氧的产生效率，这进一步拓展了AlEgens在成像像引导的癌症手术和治疗中的应用。进一步，通过将第一原理计算对材料性能的精确预测与基于贝叶斯优化的主动学习相结合，建立了高性能光敏剂的自我改进发现系统，这将极大加速了AlEgens在生物医学研究领域的材料创新。报告结束后，刘斌院士同与会师生进行了热烈的交流与讨论。
