Porous Organic Polymers (POPs) are emerging porous materials that have been developed rapidly over recent years

and have been one of the most concerned subjects in the field of polymer science. Given the versatile and tailor-made chemistry

a variety of functional units can be introduced into porous organic polymer materials through the structural predesign or post-modification to render POPs the specific functions for multiple applications. As they have shown the great potential and prospective future

POPs have also evoked increasing interest and desire of exploration in the biomedical field. This article gives a survey of the latest progress in use of POPs for drug delivery

phototherapy

enzyme immobilization

pathology diagnostics and immunoassays

biosensing

and bioimaging. Afterwards

the current challenges and development of researches are discussed as a conclusion to the mini review.
