Prof. Dr. Dongdong Wang is a distinguished materials scientist and interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges chemistry, nanotechnology, biology, and medicine, with a strong focus on nanozyme engineering and metal–organic framework (MOF)–derived functional materials for biomedical applications. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Lanzhou University and earned his Ph.D. in 2018 from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Following his doctoral training, he conducted postdoctoral research at Nanyang Technological University from 2018 to 2022, where he further expanded his expertise in advanced nanomaterials and catalytic systems. In June 2022, Prof. Wang joined USTC as a Professor and Principal Investigator, establishing an independent and rapidly growing research program. Prof. Wang has authored more than 80 high-impact research articles published in internationally leading journals such as Accounts of Chemical Research, Nature Communications, Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Materials, Chem, ACS Nano, and Advanced Science. His scholarly contributions demonstrate both depth and breadth, ranging from fundamental mechanistic studies to application-oriented innovations. His research is supported by competitive funding, including grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Anhui Provincial Natural Science Foundation, reflecting strong national recognition of his scientific leadership. In 2025, he was selected as a JMCB Emerging Investigators, further underscoring his rising international profile. The core of Prof. Wang’s research lies in the rational design and synthesis of porous nanozymes, single-atom nanozymes, and MOF-based hybrid materials. He systematically investigates their enzymatic catalytic mechanisms and explores their applications in tumor imaging, diagnosis, therapy, antibacterial treatment, and immunomodulation. A defining feature of his work is the integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS)–based catalytic therapy with modulation of the tumor microenvironment, providing innovative strategies for precision theranostics. Additionally, he explores the use of microorganisms and microbially synthesized nanomaterials in catalysis and tumor immunotherapy, opening new frontiers at the interface of biology and materials science. Beyond research outputs, Prof. Wang plays an active role in the scientific community as a guest editor for leading journals including Molecules, Materials, and Frontiers in Chemistry, and serves as an invited independent reviewer for top-tier journals such as Nature Communications, Journal of the American Chemical Society, ACS Nano, and Biomaterials. His achievements have been recognized through multiple prestigious honors, including the BaoGang Education Scholarship and the National Graduate Scholarship. Overall, Prof. Dongdong Wang’s research profile reflects originality, interdisciplinary impact, and sustained excellence, making him a strong candidate for the Research Excellence Award.
