Therapeutics 第四届中美纳米医学与纳米生物技术年会 The 4th Annual Meeting of Chinese American Society of Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology 会议手册 Conference Handbook 19th - 22nd August 2019 | Hangzhou, China Welcome Message Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the organizing committee and Zhejiang University, the hosting institution, we welcome you to Hangzhou for the 4th International Symposium for Chinese American Society of Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology (CASNN) during August 20-22, 2019. CASNN was initially proposed by a group of active Chinese scholars in USA and China as an informal WeChat group and formally established in 2016. Its primary objective is to promote international communication, primarily between USA and China, for the advancement of nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology and to foster inclusive and collaborative interactions among researchers and institutions working in those areas. This annual symposium series has been successfully held in Nanjing (2018), Suzhou (2017) and Beijing (2016). The 4th CASNN meeting committee has invited and assembled a strong list of international speakers from academia, industry, and government agencies. This list includes 130 prominent scientists and leading experts with diverse backgrounds in Engineering, Chemistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy. In addition, there are more than 300 poster presentations contributed by graduate students, postdoctoral and medical researchers. In the past twenty years, nanomedicine and bionanotechnology have experienced remarkable advances enabled by scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. We felt that it is imperative to reiterate the significance of fundamental and transformative concepts. Thus, we place the conference theme under “Transform Nanomedicine with Breakthrough Thinking”. The meeting also includes discussion forums for Emerging Leaders and Rising Stars, aiming to stimulate provocative discussions on the most critical issues in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology. We thank the staff members, volunteers, and session chairs for helping us build this exciting program. The organizing and scientific committees will make every effort to make sure your participation is scientifically rewarding, and your trip to Hangzhou (the Paradise on Earth) pleasurable and relaxing.

His research has advanced fundamental understanding of biological systems and led to the development of new materials as well as technologies for diagnosis and treatment of various ailments including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases and infectious diseases, among others. Many of his technologies have advanced to human clinical studies and are used by people. At the same time, fundamental understanding developed through his research has advanced the understanding of the biology of transport barriers in the human body. His research has made particular impact on the following areas: Transdermal drug delivery: Prof. Mitragotri has established a fundamental knowledge base of transport properties of skin. He also developed mathematical models of skin permeation and analytical tools to study biophysics of skin structure-function relationship (PNAS 2005). Further, he has developed novel technologies to enable transdermal delivery of proteins, peptides and siRNA which otherwise have to be injected using needles. He has pioneered a large number of technologies including low-frequency ultrasound, pulsed microjet injector, high throughput skin experimentation, skin penetrating peptides and ionic liquids for transdermal delivery of proteins, peptides and nucleic acids. Professor Mitragotri’s research has made it possible to painlessly deliver macromolecules using transdermal patches, which was previously considered not feasible.

His research has developed fundamental understanding of biological barriers of skin, gut, blood brain barrier, and macrophage clearance, and has led to the development of new materials as well as technologies for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases including diabetes, cancer, traumatic brain injury, ARDS and infections, among others. Many of his technologies have advanced to human clinical studies and products. Two of his recent key technological contributions are highlighted below: Macrophage and Red Blood Cell Therapies: Prof. Mitragotri pioneered the field of non-genetic modifications of macrophages and red blood cells (RBCs) through engineered nanoparticles. He demonstrated that nanoparticles attached to red blood cells (cellular hitchhiking) can be delivered to specific organs including lungs, kidney and brain for targeted intervention. He also designed shape- engineered nanoparticles (cellular backpacks) that attach to macrophages and can control their phenotype for various applications including cancer, ARDS and traumatic brain injury. His non-genetic cellular modifications offer an alternative to genome-engineered approaches. Ionic Liquids for Therapeutic Applications: Prof. Mitragotri pioneered the use of designer ionic liquids for drug delivery applications.
