Biography

Dr. Wei Sheng was borned in 1980 in Heilongjiang Province, is an asssociate Professor of the college of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Tianjin University of Science and Technology. Dr. Sheng completed Bachelor Degree from Northeast Agricultural University at 2002. In 2008, Dr. Sheng received her doctoral degree from China Agricultural University. Then, Dr. Sheng worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Tianjin University of Science and Technology for 2 years. Since 2012, Dr. Sheng is employed by Tianjin University of Science and Technology as an associate professor.

She published 42 scientific papers, including 24 SCI.

Research Interests

1. Preparetion of polyclonal antibody and monoclonal antibody against pathogenic microorganism, food allergen, and the small molecule pollutant in food including pesticide, veterinary drug, mycotoxin, hazardous substance generated during food processing, and illegal additive, etc.

2. Development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of small molecule pollutant, pathogenic microorganism or allergen in food.

3. Development of novel fluorescence immunoassay for the detection of small molecule pollutant in food using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as signal-probe labels.

4. Development of lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of small molecule pollutant in food using various nanoparticles as signal labels, such as colloidal gold nanoparticles, dyed polymer microspheres, quantum dots, carbon dots, or upconversion nanoparticles.

5. Development of rapid test products including ELISA kits and test strips.
