报告人简介：Dr. Jian Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. He received his PhD in Polymer Chemistry and Physics in 2002 from the Institute of Chemistry, The Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. After completing his PhD, he joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA) as a postdoctoral fellow in 2003-2006. Before joining Penn State University in 2012, Dr. Yang started his academic career as an assistant professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in 2006 and obtained an early promotion to associate professor with tenure in 2011. Dr. Yang has published 73 journal articles, 8 issued patents, and 7 book chapters. He was a recipient of NSF CAREER Award (2010) and Outstanding Young Faculty Award of College of Engineering at UTA (2011). Dr. Yang’s lab is currently funded by 3 NIH R01 grants and 2 NSF grants. Dr. Yang services as a reviewer for major funding agencies such as NIH, NSF, and AHA. He is an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Biomaterials and on the editorial board for a number of journals. Dr. Yang’s major research interest lies in novel biomaterial design for tissue engineering, drug delivery and medical devices.
报告摘要：Dr. Yang will discuss a methodology of citrate-based biomaterial design for tissue engineering, drug delivery, medical devices, and cancer bioimaging. This methodology embraces biomimicking strategies and novel chemistry design to develop a family of novel biodegradable polymers. Specific examples to be covered in this seminar include nanoparticle scaffolds for in situ endothelium regeneration, osteoinductive polymers for orthopedic devices and bone regeneration, bioglues for wound healing, and theranostic nanoparticles for cancer imaging and drug delivery.
