Laser-triggered Nanobiomaterials for Inhibiting Tumor Growth

Professor Maoquan Chu received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in 2001. He then conducted his postdoctoral work in the School of Life Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China. At this stage, he delved into biomaterials and nanotechnology. In 2004, he joined the School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, China. In 2007, he won the China Education Ministry’s “New Century Excellent Talents Supporting Plan.” In 2008, he was hired as a professor and PhD supervisor. He is now a principal investigator in the School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University and in the Research Center for Translational Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, China. His main area of research is nanobiomedicine, with a current focus on cancer therapy using nanobiomaterials. His recent research has been published in related journals such as Biomaterials, Acta Biomaterialia, Nano Research, Theranostics, etc. He has also published three books about biomaterials.
