Dr. Qian Peter Su is now an Emerging Leadership 1 Fellow of Australia National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Heart Foundation (NHF, co-fund) at the University of Technology Sydney. He is also a Visiting Scientist in Heart Research Institute at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on establishing an image profiling platform for cardiovascular disease, supported by the Volumetric Imaging Facility, of which he is the facility manager and key operator. In 2017, he received PhD in biophysics supervised by Profs Xiaoliang Sunney Xie and Yujie Sun from the Biodynamic Optical Imaging Centre (BIOPIC) in Peking University, with the honour of Outstanding Graduate Student of the Beijing City.

His research bridges applied biomedical engineering with fundamental sciences. It brings new insights to mechanistic questions addressed at the single-molecule level by advanced microscopy and acquired with high spatiotemporal resolution. He has developed state-of-art biophysical nanotools, including single-molecule in vitro reconstitution assays and super-resolution microscopy to visualise precise structures and pinpoint molecular mechanisms during important biological processes, including autophagy, mitochondrial metabolism, DNA replication, and thrombosis.
