PROF XIAOYUAN (SHAWN) CHEN
Professor Department of Radiology National University of Singapore Singapore Prof. Xiaoyuan (Shawn) Chen is Nasrat Muzayyin Chair Professor in Medicine and Technology, National University of Singapore. He is the founding editor of journal Theranostics (IF 12.4). He was elected as AIMBE Fellow (2017), SNMMI Fellow (2020), Fellow of European Academy of Sciences (2024), Member of Academia Europaea (MAE, 2024), and Singapore National Academy of Science (SNAS, 2024), received JBN Trailblazer Award (2023), SNMMI Michael J. Welch Award (2019), ACS Bioconjugate Chemistry Lecturer Award (2016), NIH Director’s Award (2014), and NIBIB Mentor Award (2012). He became a member of the Advanced Materials Hall of Fame (2023). He is also the Past President of Chinese American Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (CASNMMI), Past President of the Radiopharmaceutical Science Council (RPSC), Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), and Past President of the Chinese American Society of Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology (CASNN).
Prof. Chen has published over 1000 papers and numerous books (total citations ca. 150,000, H index 202 based on Google scholar). Based on World Scientist and University Rankings 2024 (AD Scientific Index), his total H index is ranked No. 4 in Singapore (No. 2 in the last 6-years) and No. 1 in Natural Science. His research continues to be state-of-the-art, innovative, and collaborative and is largely focused on the development of theranostics (combination of diagnostics and therapeutics, e.g. radiotheranostics, nanotheranostics, immunotheranostics, magnetotheranostics, phototheranostics, etc.) that can be clinically translatable. His ground-breaking works have not only uncovered exciting new molecular imaging probes and nanomaterials, but also have potential utilization of such new molecules for applications in medicine and drug development, gene therapy and immunotherapy of a variety of diseases. |
