🎓 Educational Background

Dr. Jingtian He has a robust academic foundation that underpins her expertise in biochemistry and molecular biology. She earned her Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Chemistry from Hebei University, Baoding, China in July 1990. Her pursuit of advanced knowledge led her to Nankai University, Tianjin, China, where she completed her Master of Science (M.S.) in Inorganic Chemistry in June 1996. Dr. He culminated her academic journey with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the prestigious School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in June 2005.

🏢 Professional Role and Expertise

Currently, Dr. Jingtian He serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the College of Life Science, Hebei Normal University, located in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China. She is a distinguished academic and researcher known for her contributions to drug delivery systems and her innovative work in micro- and nano-particle formulations.

💡 Research Focus

Dr. He’s research is centered on the development of polymeric particles for sustained and mucosal drug delivery systems, contributing significantly to advancements in pharmaceutical science. Her work has provided a deeper understanding of microsphere formulations for a variety of drugs, including erythropoietin, hepatitis B surface antigen, staphylokinase mutant, triptorelin, and non-T cell binding peptides.

One of her groundbreaking discoveries demonstrated that chitosan can enhance the transepithelial transport of both peptides and microparticles, offering new possibilities for improving drug delivery and absorption. Additionally, her research highlighted that the surface modification of PLGA micro- and nano-particles with polysaccharides serves as a promising approach for the mucosal delivery of antigens, paving the way for innovative solutions in vaccine and therapeutic delivery systems.
