Occupation
Physicist

Summary

Dayong Jin is noted for his development of new kinds of microscopes that facilitate investigation of how molecules work within living cells. This has wide application in understanding the causes and early detection of diseases and he development of treatments. He uses photonics to invent fluorescent molecules which can be used in areas diverse as medical diagnosis, anti-counterfeiting inks, and optical safety systems. In 2015 Jin was appointed Founding Director of the Initiative for Biomedical Materials and Devices (IBMD) at the University of Technology Sydney. He was awarded the Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year in 2017 for his contribution to our understanding of metabolism and obesity
