About the Author

Professor of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Director-General, National Center for Nanosciences and Technology, China.
Research Interest:He proposed the toxicity study of engineered nanomaterials in 2001, and is a pioneer with innovative ideas for initiating the study on nanosafety issues. His work focuses on biological effects/activities of nanomaterials with an emphasis on the establishment of reliable and valid analysis methods for discovering the biological effects of nanomaterials/nanomedicines in vivo, understanding of the chemical mechanisms of nanosafety and safe application of nanomaterials. These have led to an ISO standard analytical method being adapted by ISO/IEC 168 member countries, the establish nanosafety assessment framework for occupational exposure of nanomaterials, the discovery of a new-concept nanomedicine for cancer therapeutics, etc.
Before 2001, he and colleagues in Japan discovered the Element 113 (Nh) which is first new element that has been discovered in Asia and filled in the Element Periodic Table.
Prize/Awards: The elected Member of TWAS (2018), the Academician of CAS (2017), TWAS Prize in Chemistry (2016), CAS Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize (2019), National Prize for Natural Sciences (2012, 2018), The Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Science and Technology Progress Prize (2020), China Award for Outstanding Contribution on Toxicology (2015), Beijing Award for Leading Talent in Science & Technology (2014), etc. International Affairs Office, National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, China Xingxing He is an analyst in Elsevier Research Analytical and Data Service team, with a focus on bibliometrics analysis.
