Shuping Bi is Professor of Chemistry at Nanjing University (NJU) of China.He obtained his higher education at NJU from 1979 to 1989 (B.S., 1983 and Ph.D.1989), working with Prof. Hong Gao (H.Kao, Science Academician of China), and
then joined the faculty at NJU in 1989. He has been a postdoctoral fellow atSmithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) in 1992-1993, following as a visiting scientist working in SERC in 1995 and 1996. It was in SERC that he
started work on the speciation of toxic metal ion (aluminum) and its biological effects, a research area that his group has contributed to for the past 12 years. As a senior visiting scientist, he also spent a semester in 2001 at the Center for Environmental Biotechnology, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley, where he carried out the mechanism study dealing with the bio-remediation for contaminated environment. From 2003.12-2004.8, he spent a sabbatical at the Laboratory of Electrochemistry, Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, University of Texas at Austin, working with Prof. Allen J. Bard, where he started the research by applying Scanning Electrochemical Microscope (SECM) to elucidate the reaction mechanisms involved in biological chemistry processes.
Prof.Bi’s main research interests are in the field of environmental analytical chemistry, bio-electrochemistry, particularly focusing on the interaction of toxic metal ions and nano-particulates with some important biological molecules including proteins and DNA. By applying various modern analytical methodologies including electrochemical, spectrometric, chromatographic, magnetic methods, as well as combining with computer simulations and quantum chemical calculations, the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules are studied comprehensively. Now, he is carrying out a new research work toward to establish the novel electrochemical methods to monitor and detect the free radicals generated in the biological and environmental chemistry processes in situ, in order to further deep understanding of the effect of metal ions and organic molecules on the electron transfer rate through DNA.
