讚詞
我們很榮幸頒發「研資局研究學者計劃」獎項予孫飛教授,以表揚他在合成生物學和蛋白質工程的結合下,在研究智能材料和光遺傳學工具方面取得的突破性成果。孫教授的創新方法使得從分子水平到宏觀材料水平的功能轉移成為可能,並帶來了在非平衡複雜系統中發現新現象的突破。
孫教授在香港科技大學的研究小組致力於創建功能性的「活體」材料,這合成材料具有生命特徵,包括生長、自癒、刺激反應和達爾文進化的能力。通過採用材料合成生物學方法,孫教授的團隊旨在創建智能材料支架和超選擇性生長因子,以促進神經再生。
我們衷心祝賀孫飛教授獲得此殊榮,並對他在合成生物學、再生醫學和化學工程領域的卓越成就表示高度讚揚。孫教授的研究成果不僅在學術界引起了廣泛關注,更為相關產業的發展帶來了重要的啟示和貢獻。期待孫教授在未來的研究中繼續與團隊攜手合作,取得更多的成績。
