Nanotoxicity and Novel Cancer Nanomedicine

 

 
Yuliang Zhao 

National Center for Nanoscience and Technology

Chinese Academy of Sciences

 

Yuliang Zhao, Ph.D. is a Professor and Deputy Director-General of National
Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China, the Director of Chinese
Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory for Biomedical Effects of Nanomaterials
and Nanosafety, Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of
Sciences (CAS), and the Co-Director of Research Center for Cancer
Nanotechnology, CAS & Tianjin Cancer Hospital. 

 

Prof. Zhao initiated the nanotoxicology study in China in 2001 and hence
became one of the earliest scientists studying the toxicity properties of
engineered nanomaterials and nanosafety issues worldwide. His research
interests span both basic and translational research including
Nanotoxicology, Low-toxic nanomedicine for cancer therapy, Nanochemistry for
reducing the toxicity of nanomaterials/nanomedicines, and Molecular Dynamics
simulation of biochemical processes at nano-bio interface.  His primary
research focus is on the toxic properties of nanomaterials, and development
of novel nanomedicine of low-toxicity (without delivery systems) for
low-toxic cancer chemotherapy, especially, proposed the use of non-killing
cell mechanism to inhibit cancer growth by nanostructure materials.  He is
the author of over 200 SCI publications, 10 books, and 17 book chapters as
well as an inventor on eight patents.  He is now serving as Associate
Editor/Advisory Editorial Board member for 7 SCI journals in USA and Europe.
