Binbin Ying 应斌斌

Happy to share that I've joined @utswbme as a tenure-track Assistant Prof. I am grateful for the mentorship from Profs @cgtraverso and Robert Langer during my postdoctoral training @MIT & @BrighamWomens as well as Profs. Liu and @jianyuvli during my Ph.D. at @mcgillu & @UofT

A great first day at the Fall 2025 meeting of the @Materials_MRS here in Boston. My talk, titled ‘Soft, Responsive Bioresorbable Materials for Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging,” was in the late morning in a session on Ultrasound Devices organized by Prof. @AlinaRwei (@tudelft), Prof. Guosong Hong (@Stanford), Prof. @whl0903 (@UTAustin) and Prof. Hyunjoo Jenny Lee (@kaistpr). I covered our latest work on the use of thin, soft, miniaturized implantable ‘tags’ made of bioresorbable hydrogels and lithographically defined contrast agents to enable local measurements of important tissue properties at locations deep in the body, with readout by conventional medical imaging techniques, most prominently by ultrasound but also in forms compatible with CT and MRI methods. Specific clinical use cases involve monitoring for leaks following a GI surgery and tracking for early signs of rejection following a kidney transplant. Great audience and interactions after the talk – including lunch with the organizers and a former postdoc, Prof. @XugroupStanford (@Stanford). Thanks again for the opportunity to share our work at this meeting! The day concluded with a quick beer with Prof. Michael Dickey (@NCState) and Prof. Klas Hjort (Dean of Engineering at Uppsala University) followed by a dinner with former group members, organized by Prof. @NiLabDuke (@DukeU), and including Prof. Hui Fang (@dartmouth), Prof. @XugroupStanford (@Stanford), Dr. Claire Liu (Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub), Prof. Min-ho Seo (@PusanUni ), Prof. Zheng Yan (@Mizzou), Prof. @XuejuW (@UConn), Prof. Yi Zhang (@UConn), Prof. @AlinaRwei (@tudelft), Prof. @hangbozhao (@USC), Prof. @kento_yamagishi (@ppinokodai), along with special guests Prof. @YingBinbin (@UTSWMedCenter) and Ms. Amy Zhang (elementary school – daughter of Xueju and Yi!) Wonderful to see everyone!

🚨 New Faculty Alert! Binbin Ying, Ph.D., joins UT Southwestern as Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering! Dr. Ying's work on soft robotics & ingestible devices is transforming GI care. Read his story: profiles.utsouthwestern.edu/profile/239551… #UTSW #BiomedicalEngineering #WelcomeDrYing

We are actively recruiting! Ph.D. (starting Fall 2026) Post doctor (starting ASAP) If you know talented individuals passionate about biomedical innovation, or anyone excited to explore opportunities in Dallas, home of @dallasmavs 🏀, please feel free to share or reach out!

At Ying Lab at @utswbme , our research focuses on the development and clinical translation of next-gen medical devices that integrate biomaterials, bioelectronics, and soft robotics to address critical unmet challenges in human health

Today, the department welcomed Binbin Ying, Ph.D., as Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering with a lunch. Dr. Ying's research focuses on the development of soft medical devices and he was most recently a Postdoc in Mechanical Engingeering at @MIT. Welcome, Dr. Ying!

I’m beyond thrilled to share that I will be joining the @MIT Department of Biological Engineering @MITdeptofBE as an Assistant Professor in January 2026! I will also be an intramural member of the legendary Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT @kochinstitute

Thank you so much for highlighting our recent work @ScienceMagazine @ScienceTM @MITMechE @MIT @ScienceMIT @kochinstitute @broadinstitute @BrighamWomens

In a new paper, MechE researchers introduce e-GLUE, a new electroadhesive hydrogel that may make sustained drug administration for GI diseases more effective and efficient. Read more: mitsha.re/saRe50VfMo7

A new #biomaterial named e-GLUE with strong electroadhesive properties can adhere to the GI lining in pigs for one month, and could support long-term retention of medical devices and sustained drug delivery for #IBD. @cgtraverso @YingBinbin @MITMechE scim.ag/3Fdm3As

Many people to acknowledge along the journey, including my amazing postdoc advisors @cgtraverso and Bob Langer at @MIT @MITMechE @kochinstitute collaborators, staff, and students. Lastly, special thanks to @garywliu , an amazing colleague who gave me enormous advice on writing.

The e-GLUE platform could enable theranostic applications across a range of digestive diseases, including recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and inflammatory bowel disease.

Today's @ScienceTM reported our e-GLUE technology, an electroadhesive hydrogel that achieves 30-day GI mucosal retention following ~1 min of electrical stimulation for prolonged theranostics. @cgtraverso science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceMagazine @MIT @MITMechE @kochinstitute
