Dayong Jin

Dayong Jin is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and an Australian Laureate Fellow. He is a Chair Professor at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, Dean of its School of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Zhejiang Engineering Research Center for Organelle Precision Diagnosis and Therapy. He is also a Distinguished Fellow of the International Society for Engineering and Technology, a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, a Fellow and Standing Council Member of the Chinese Society for Optical Engineering, and President and Chief Scientist of the Yinzhou (EIT) Digital Intelligence Bio-Innovation Institute.

A leading interdisciplinary scientist, Professor Jin conducts fundamental and applied research in biomedical materials, super-resolution imaging, organelle functional imaging, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, organoids and organs-on-chips, precision drug delivery and screening, biomedical foundation models and algorithms, spatial multi-omics, single-molecule detection and diagnostic pathology. In bioengineering optics and high-end medical instrumentation, he pioneered internationally leading single-molecule digital bioimaging technology, now widely used in early epidemic detection, rapid infectious-disease testing, high-throughput drug screening, cell methodology, proteomics and immunomics. In diagnostic reagents and materials, he solved the challenge of synthesizing multifunctional nanoprobes in a controllable, reproducible and efficient way, opening new avenues for the preparation of novel materials.

He has published more than 350 papers, including over 40 in Nature and its sister journals. His honours include Australia's Best Invention award for industry–research translation, the Prime Minister's Prize for Science (Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year) and the Eureka Prize for Interdisciplinary Scientific Research. He brings deep expertise in biophotonics, biomedical diagnostics and advanced instrument engineering.
