Biography:
Prof. Aijun Tong got her B.S. (1983) in Chemistry from Xinjiang University, China, M.S. (1989) and Ph.D (1992) in Analytical Chemistry from Meisei University, Tokyo, Japan. She joined the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University as a Lecturer from 1992, and then promoted to Associate Professor (1996) and Professor (2003). Her current research directions include the development of novel fluorescence analytical methods for bioimaging, diagnosis and therapy of diseases, as well as their mechanisms in single cell level. Her work has resulted in over 100 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters.
