Academic Areas: Analytical Chemistry

Fang Chen is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. She is mainly engaged in the basic and applied basic research in analytical chemistry and environmental chemistry, including the synthesis of new luminescent materials, spectral analysis, biological analysis and environmental analysis. Including: (1) The design and preparation of fluorescent probes for organic molecules and complexes. A variety of fluorescent probes were designed and prepared for the analysis of metal ions, drugs and biomolecules. (2) Preparation and application of fluorescent nanomaterials. Fluorescent nanomaterials with different surface functional groups were prepared. Based on their fluorescence quenching and recovery, ratio and switch fluorescent nanoprobes were constructed for the analysis of metal ions, small organic molecules, DNA, ATP and other biomolecules. So far, more than 50 research papers have been published in academic journals.
