【講座信息】

The recent years have witnessed the fast grow of fluorogens with aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIEgens) in biomedical research. The weak emission of AIEgens as molecular species and their bright luminescence as nanoscopic aggregates distinguish them from conventional organic luminophores and inorganic nanoparticles, making them wonderful candidates for many high-tech applications. In this talk, we discuss the latest advancement of AIEgen empowered reactivity-based theranostic bioprobes. We highlight our efforts in recent years in formulating reactivity-based organic biosensing/imaging probes and multifunctional theranostic probes as well as in utilizing these bioprobes in detecting various chemical species in living systems, and in diagnosing and treating cancer and bacterial infections. We seek to further stimulate research activities and closer collaborations among the research fields of chemistry, materials, and biology to push the boundary of AIE research and promote reactivity-based theranostics for practical applications and clinical translations.
