　　Professor Ji Xiaolong, president of Nano Medicine Institute, has been engaged in nano-medical research for a long time and made an outstanding contribution to this area. In 1978, he began to study histiocyte (light microscopy, electron microscopy), and accumulated rich experience in cell morphology. In 1992, began to explore the application of nanotechnology in medicine. Since 1996, he began to study human cells by atomic force microscopy, explored the disease cells in molecular, atomic level of life from a medical point of view. From May 1996 to June 1997, he went to Washington State University in the United States to carry out the AFM experimental study, completed research of fd Phage virus shape factors. At that time, he was the first pathologist in the world to conduct AFM work. From basic training, he has learned to use AFM, mastered the method of specimen processing, explored the characteristics of the biological specimen examination, and laid a basis for observation of the human body specimens. In particular, he found a simple and efficient procedure to analyze samples in living cells and liquid, which undoubtedly provided a very valuable new way for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
