Xueli Liu is currently a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS). She received her B.S. degree in material chemistry from Jilin University in 2009. Thenshe joined Prof. Lei Jiang’s group at ICCAS. Under the supervision of Prof. Lei Jiang and Prof. Shutao Wang,her current scientific interest is focused on the designand fabrication bio-inspired surface with special wettability and bio-inspired nano-biointerface for specific cancer-cell recognition and isolation.
