  Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) professor Xiaoliang Sunney Xie is one of the founding fathers of single-molecule biophysical chemistry, specifically single-molecule enzymology; much of his research involves the use of lasers and microscopy. For his contributions to high-resolution optical-imaging techniques, Xie will receive the Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis for outstanding research in applied laser technology. The prize will be presented to Xie by jury member Professor Theodor Hänsch at an award ceremony in Ditzingen, Germany on September 15, 2008.
  ...
  The person presenting the award this year to Xie is quite famous in his own right. heodor Hänsch shared half of the 2005 Nobel Prize for his work in laser-based spectroscopy, including his development of the ultrafast-laser-based optical-frequency-comb technique.
  ...
  Sunney Xie is also well-known for his development work on CARS for both a mention of Xie and a comment of his on CARS microscopy). Due to Xie's relentless efforts, CARS microscopy has become one of the most important developments in light microscopy. Xie not only first recognized the full potential of CARS in biological imaging, but he also eliminated most of its technical challenges as well. Unlike fluorescence microscopy, CARS can be used when the observed material cannot be tagged with or is intolerant of fluorescent markers. Xie's team has demonstrated the use of CARS microscopy to identify tumors and monitor metabolism.
  
  Born in Beijing, China, Professor Xie earned his doctorate in chemistry at the University of California at San Diego in 1990. After postdoctoral fellowship and Chief Scientist positions at the University of Chicago and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland, WA) respectively, he became Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University in 1999. Xie has been decorated with prestigious awards and prizes, among them the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Director's Pioneer Award in 2004 and the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Sciences and Quantum Optics in 2007.

  Professor X. Sunney Xie was born in Beijing, China, in 1962.He received a B.S. in chemistry from Peking University in 1984.He then came to United States and earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1990 from the University of California at San Diego, working in the laboratory of Professor John Simon.There, he developed picosecond time resolved circular dichoism spectroscopy for the study of ultrafast conformational motions of biomoleucles.Xie then conducted postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Professor Graham Fleming at the University of Chicago, where he developed a femtosecond up-conversion technique for time resolved fluorescence study of ultrafast energy transfer and electron transfer processes in photosynthesis.
  
  In 1992, Xie joined the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), where he later became a Chief Scientist.His group at PNNL made advances on near-field optical microscopy, and was one of the first to pioneer fluorescence studies of single molecules at room temperature in early 1990s.In 1999, he was appointed by Harvard University as a Professor of Chemistry.
  
  Working at the interface of physics, chemistry and biology, Professor Xie has ventured into several new research areas since the start of his independent career.He has made major contributions in single-molecule spectroscopy, single-molecule enzymology, protein conformational dynamics, and single-molecule live cell imaging of gene expression.Xie and his colleagues also pioneered the development and application of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, which allows imaging of live cells and tissues based on vibrational spectroscopy with high sensitivity.His work has not only brought about technological innovations but also addressed fundamental and compelling scientific issues.
  
  Professor Xie has coauthored over 110 research papers and holds three US patents.He received the 1996 Coblentz award, the 2003 Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize in the Physical Sciences, and the 2004 NIH Director's Pioneer Award.He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Fellow of Biophysical Society.
