报告摘要：

Owing to their size and unique chemical/physical properties, materials with nanostructures are an emerging class of material for biomedical applications. In recent times, the opportunities for nanomaterials in medicine have gone from potential to reality. There are now many prominent examples of nanomaterials being used to improve human health, ranging from diagnosis to therapy to regenerative medicine.

In this talk, Dr. Xu will discuss his effort in designing responsive nanoparticle-based nanosensors for tracking cells in cell therapy and delivering drugs to tissues that are hard to reach, and helping the scar treatment with microneedle technology. The goal of his research is to bridge the gap between fundamental science and biomedical opportunities.
