Professor Wei Xunbin, a Distinguished Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a National Outstanding Youth Fund recipient, and a Fellow of the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), visited our institute for academic exchanges on December 18, 2018, and delivered an academic report titled "Noninvasive monitoring of nanoparticle clearance and aggregation in blood circulation by in vivo flow cytometry". The report mainly introduced the principles, key technical points, and application status of the unique in vivo flow cytometer developed by his team. At the same time, it elaborated in detail that the in vivo flow cytometer innovatively combines various technologies such as nanoprobes, window detection methods, and data analysis, enabling highly sensitive detection of continuously circulating tumor cells in living animals. Currently, his team is leading the clinical transformation of this technology, which is expected to provide a non-invasive, continuous, and highly accurate monitoring method for tumor metastasis.
