Personal profile

Dr. Zhu, an Assistant Professor at Wisdom Lake Academy of Pharmacy, is dedicated to advancing the field of drug delivery with a focus on optimizing transdermal delivery systems for biopharmaceuticals and chemotherapeutics. His research endeavors also encompass the exploration of localized drug delivery strategies for cancer immunotherapy and the development of novel smart biomaterials.

Having completed both his undergraduate and doctoral studies at Soochow University under the guidance of Professor Liu Zhuang, Dr. Zhu gained expertise in tumor immunotherapy and the application of biomaterials. This expertise led him to embark on a postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution in 2022, where he further honed his skills in the transdermal delivery of biopharmaceuticals.

Dr. Zhu values interdisciplinary collaboration and actively seeks partnerships with researchers from various backgrounds to tackle complex challenges in drug delivery and immunotherapy. If you share a common interest in these areas, please do not hesitate to contact him at wenjun.zhu@xjtlu.edu.cn to discuss potential collaborations.
