Prof. Hao Wang from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China (NCNST) was invited to give a lecture at the Institute of Advanced Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jiangsu University in the morning of Sept. 12th, 2020. Relevant faculty members attended his wonderful academic lecture.
The seminar was hosted by Prof. Lei Liu, Dean of the Institute of Advanced Materials. Prof. Wang gave a lecture entitled “In vivo in-situ self-assembled bio-nano materials”, which focused on the design and application of peptide polymer carrier materials by an "in vivo self-assembly" strategy. The lecture included three parts: 1. Developing the high-content synthesis and high-throughput screening approach to optimize the targeting of carriers; 2. Proposing the "assembly-induced retention" effect to realize high-efficiency drug delivery; 3. Designing carriers with a narrow response range and achieving the enrichment by "in vivo self-assembly" strategy. Through a detailed explanation of the three aspects, Prof. Wang showed us the cleverly conceived, concise and effective design of self-assembled nanoprobes and nanomedicines as well as their applications in precise detection of bacterial infections, tissue repairing and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases based on the "in vivo self-assembly" strategy. After the lecture, Prof. Wang had a lively discussion with faculty members, and shared his constructive ideas and valuable suggestions about scientific research, team building and life.
