Biography

Dr. Yuliang Zhao earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Science from the Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1999. He held faculty appointments at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing before becoming a member of The Methodist Hospital Research Institute in 2011. Dr. Zhao also holds adjunct faculty appointments at Peking University (Beijing), the Medical School of Jilin University (Changchun), and Sichuan University (Chengdu).

As the the founder and Director of CAS Key Lab for Biomedical Effects of Nanomaterials & Nanosafety, he directs a research program that is developing a new generation of cancer chemotherapeutics using low-toxic nanoparticles. Dr. Zhao has also been a member of nine study sections and review boards in China and Europe. He is the founder and Director of Research Center for Cancer Nanotechnology at Tianjin Cancer Hospital in China. He has served as the Associate Editor and editorial board member of seven scientific research journals since 2006.

Research Interests

(1) The biomedical functions of manufactured nanomaterials including the cancer nanotechnology: development of low-toxic chemotherapeutics with nanostructured particles themselves or as carriers, and the early diagnosis of cancer cells at a single cell level based on complexed nanosystem/nanovectors;

(2) The toxicological effects of nanomaterials including identification of nano-hazards using animal, cellular and molecular models; methodological and metrological development for detecting nanoparticle in biological systems; drafting regulatory frameworks and nano-standards for safety issues on nanotechnology and establishing standard procedures for safety assessment of nano-products for governmental agencies;

(3) The surface chemistry of nanoparticles and their novel properties for the purposes of enhancing the biomedical functions or reducing the potential toxicity;

(4) The MD theoretical simulation and modeling the dynamic processes of the interplay between nano-systems (like nanotubes) and bio-systems (like bio-membrane or ion channels).
