Dr. Chuanzhen Zhao is joining the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, starting January 2027!

 

The CZ Lab develops soft molecular bioelectronic interfaces that decode and control chemical signals in living systems. We build adaptive biochemical interfaces to enable continuous monitoring of disease-relevant chemistry and targeted intervention at the molecular scale. Our work spans fundamental molecular recognition chemistry, adaptive soft matter, and transistor-based bioelectronic systems, united by a commitment to building interfaces that are molecularly specific, electrically programmable, and stable in living systems. Our vision is to bridge the body's molecular signals and electronic medicine, enabling medicine to continuously listen to living chemistry and respond with molecular precision.

​

We are actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, Master's students, and undergraduate researchers with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and electrical engineering. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive research environment where everyone is supported to do their best science. Prospective members are encouraged to visit our Join page for more information.
