Title: Bio-Nanomedicine Platform for Anticancer and Anti-inflammation Therapy

Speaker: Professor Sangyong Jon, Ph.D. (Department of Biological Sciences, KAIST)

Date & Time: March 21 (Wed), 4:30PM~5:45PM

Venue: YBS Bldg. (E16-1), Rm#207

Abstract:

There has been a surge of interest in the development of bio-nanomaterials or bio-nanomedicine for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors. Some of bio-nanomedicine are already in the market or under development in great anticipation. In this seminar, I will give you an overview of what research effort or progress has been made in my lab in terms of nanoparticle-based nanomedicine for imaging and therapy of cancer and inflammatory diseases. The topics of my talk will include: (i) A brief overview of biomedical applications based on several bio-nanomaterials developed in JON Lab, (ii) Multistimuli-responsive nanoparticles for anticancer and anti-inflammatory therapy, and (iii) A platform technology for generation of cancer stem cells.
