Xiaoqiang Chen DEVELOPING LIGHT- RESPONSIVE DRUG CARRIERS and DIAGNOSTIC SENSORS
Developing Light- Responsive Drug Carriers and Diagnostic Sensors Dr Xiaoqiang Chen DEVELOPING LIGHT- RESPONSIVE DRUG CARRIERS AND DIAGNOSTIC SENSORS Delivering drugs to their target site and conducting medical diagnostics non-invasively are two major goals of biomedical researchers across the globe. Dr Xiaoqiang Chen and his team of scientists at Nanjing Tech University in China are developing advanced materials and procedures that can keep drugs protected before they reach their target site in the body. The group is also developing materials that can be used to detect certain substances in the body, towards providing non-invasive diagnostic tools for clinicians. Drug Delivery and Diagnostics in a more controlled manner at its intended site. At the same time, the Developing new ways of administering team is also developing biological drugs to where they are required in sensors that can monitor cell activity in the body is a challenging pursuit. For a non-invasive manner. instance, drug molecules not only need to reach their target site, but must also Central to Dr Chen’s research is the be protected in order to survive the study of how light interacts with body’s natural defences along the way. molecules.

Enzymes Are Nature's Catalysts, Featuring High Reactivity, Selectivity
************************* Report Title************************************* Dr. Yao Chen Full Professor personal State Key Laboratory of Medicinal photograph Chemical Biology College of Pharmacy Nankai University Tianjin, China 300071 Phone: 01186-18222132527 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, featuring high reactivity, selectivity, and specificity under mild conditions. Enzymatic catalysis has long been of great interest to chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, the use of enzymes for industrial applications is often handicapped by their low operational stability, difficult recovery, and lack of reusability under operational conditions. Immobilization of enzymes on solid supports can enhance enzyme stability as well as facilitate separation and recovery for reuse while maintaining activity and selectivity. As new classes of crystalline solid- state materials, porous frameworks materials (such as covalent-organic frameworks, COFs and metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) feature high surface area, tunable pore size, high stability, and easily tailored functionality, which entitle them as ideal supports for encapsulation of biomolecules to form novel composite materials for various applications. Our researches mainly focus on their biocatalysis, biomimetic and medicinal applications. This novel platform based on those biomolecule-incorporation composite materials exhibited various functionality and superior separation efficiency, biocatalytic performances and great potentials on biopharmaceutical formulations. Brief Biography Dr. Yao Chen obtained master degree from Nanjing Tech University, then obtained Ph.D degree from University of South Florida. After finished a posdoc training at UC San Diego, she moved back to China, and is now a full professor of State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and College of Pharmacy at Nankai University. Her research interest mostly focuses on incorporating biomolecule into porous supports (e.g. -

A) CTF simulation of all-β sandwich domains HC19, B) VTF simulation of HC19, C) the free energy distribution of the two simulations as log inverse of distribution probability. Compared with CTF, VTF experiences double transition between the two states within the same number of simulation steps, and the resulted free energy landscape has a wider sampling distribution.

Comparison of residual ϕ-values (black) calculated using the conventional Gō-like minimal model and those (red) using the frustrated Gō-like model for the 9 -sandwich domains that have the same sequence except a single mutation; the difference in residual ϕ- value changes reveal, to some extent, how the different local environment of mutation-site affects the folding dynamics of the -sandwich structure. -

Title: Abstract: Scope and Topics: Program Committee Chairs
ICAIS 2021 Workshop Proposal Title: Precise Task Control in Teleoperation. Abstract: Teleoperation technology could help and substitute human to perform tasks conveniently in the long-distance or dangerous environment. One key point of teleoperation is how to make the operator get the force information which is generated when the slave robot interfaces with the environment, and make the slave robot follow the movement of the master hand controller in an accurate and timely manner. The teleoperation system becomes more and more popular and has been applied in nuclear power, space and telemedicine and also other areas. However, precise task control, as for a teleoperation control for the eye, heart surgery, is now still a hot and hard topic in the teleoperation area, because it is usually not easy to establish the precise unknown working environment model in the slave robot side, and the operator always could not feel the exact force he imposed to the master hand controller and the contact force generated by the slave robot during the interface with the environment. The ultimate goal of precise task control in teleoperation is help the operator know clearly and precisely the location of the end of slave robot and also master how much force the robot has imposed to the precise task object, and make the operator could succeed to fulfil the precise task smootly and safely. Scope and Topics: Potential topics include but are not limited to: Human-Robot Interface Human-Computer Interface High Precision Torque Sensors Information Fusion in Bilateral Control Haptics Tactile Perception High Precise Control Method Optimizing Bilateral Control Program Committee Chairs: Xiaozhen He, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Email: [email protected] Homepage: http://homepages.rpi.edu/~hex6/ Bio: He received the B.S. -
