SUMMARY:2024 Distinguished Scientist Award Banquet
DESCRIPTION:Liangfang Zhang is Joan and Irwin Jacobs Chancellor Professor and Chair of the Department of Nanoengineering at UC San Diego. He has published over 280 peer-reviewed articles and was among the Clarivate Analytics list of “Highly Cited Researchers” during 2017-2023. His research aims to invent and develop novel biomimetic nanotechnologies for various biomedical applications\, with a particular focus on drug delivery\, biological neutralization\, and vaccination. \nAbout the talk: \nDiscovery and Translation of the Cellular Nanoparticle (CNPTM) Technology \nThis talk will cover exciting developments in an innovative technology that uses human cell membranes to cover tiny synthetic particles. By wrapping these particles with the natural outer layer of human cells—like red blood cells\, platelets\, white blood cells\, or even cancer cells—we create “Cellular Nanoparticles” (CNPs). These CNPs can behave like real cells in some important ways. For example\, they can hide from the immune system\, specifically target certain tissues or cells\, and interact with harmful agents like bacteria and viruses. This is possible because the particles are coated with the natural cell membranes\, which carries essential proteins and lipids that give cells their unique properties. Moreover\, we can customize these CNPs by using genetically modified cell membranes\, enabling them to deliver drugs more effectively or achieve specific therapeutic goals. \nDATE: Tuesday\, October 16\, 2024 \nTIME: \n6:00 PM No host bar\n7:00 PM Dinner\n8:00 PM Award lecture \nPLACE: The Butcher Shop \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-distinguished-scientist-award-dinner-and-presentation-tickets-980449459727
