ZHANG Bing, Ph.D., Professor at the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Technical Director of the Bio-based Materials Analysis and Testing Center, and National-level Reviewer for Inspection Body and Laboratory Mandatory Approval (CMA). Her primary research focuses on the preparation processes, product characterization, industrialization, and medical applications of collagen-based biomaterials. As the principal investigator of the key technologies, she developed the production processes for enzymatic gelatin, plasma-substitute gelatin, and medical-grade ultra-low-endotoxin gelatin, and promoted their successful transition from lab-scale research to industrial-scale production.She has led multiple national projects, including the Belt and Road Initiative Special Project under the CAS International Partnership Program, the CAS STS Key Deployment Program, the Strategic Emerging Industries Plan, and projects funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, while also resolving numerous technical challenges for gelatin manufacturers. She has published over 30 papers, filed 13 Chinese invention patents, and been granted one U.S. patent.
