Dr. Mingqian Tan is a professor and doctorial supervisor in the School of Food Science and Technology, Dalian Polytechnic University. He is the Vice Dean of the Engineering Research Center of Seafood of Ministry of Education of China, the academic leader of food quality control of National Engineering Research Center of Seafood, as well as the committee member of nuclear magnetic resonance professional committee of the Chinese Association of Analytical Instruments. Dr. Tan obtained his doctoral degree from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2005, and studied as Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Victoria, Canada, the University of Utah, Case Western Reserve University, USA between 2006 and 2010. He returned to China in 2010 to join CAS under the program so-called One hundred Outstanding Young Chinese Scientists of DICP. In 2016, he was selected hundred-level of "Liaoning BaiQianWan Talents Program".
Dr. Tan’ research is focused on the food quality control based on the fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance technology, with the emphasis on water dynamics of food products during food processing and foodborne nanoparticles derived in thermal process as well as their bio-effects, biodistribution, and interaction with biomacromolecules. He received the financial support of the major research plan from the National Nature Science Foundation of China, the National Key Scientific Instrument and Equipment Development Project of China, the National Key Research and Development Program of China, and the Nature Science Foundation of Liaoning Province. His research emphasis includes magnetic resonance imaging-fluorescence nanocarrier, highly stable and sensitive nano-probe synthesis, foodborne nanoparticles discovery and property characterization, water dynamics of seafood during processing etc. He has published 90 peer-reviewed papers, such as JACS, Chem. Mater., J. Arg. Food Chem., Food & Function, which have been cited more than 1500 times with an H index of 20. The published papers were cited by famous journals like Chem. Rev., Chem. Soc. Rev. Coordin., Nature Chem. and so on. Dr. Tan has also published 1 book and 5 book chapters and obtained 8 patents. He has given more than 22 talks at the international or national meetings. He was selected the program of Prometheus by Ecuador government, the committee member of Seafood Intensive Processing Industrial Platform, the evaluation experts of National Nature Science Foundation of China and the National Key Research and Development Program of China.
