附：部分报告人简介
       Dr. Michael J. Yaszemski is the Krehbiel Family Endowed Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at the Mayo Clinic and director of its Polymeric Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory. He served as president of the Mayo Clinic medical staff from 2013-2014, and had served for 10 years as the Chair of the Spine Surgery Division of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic Rochester prior to entering the presidential line. He received both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University in 1977 and 1978, an M.D. from Georgetown University in 1983 and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995.  He organized and then served as the first Chair of the Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering study section at NIH, and served as a member of the Advisory Council of the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering from 2010-2014. He is currently a member of the NIH Advisory Council of the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases. He served as Chair of the FDA Center for Devices and Radiologic Health Advisory Committee, and is currently a member of the FDA Science Board. He is an emeritus member of the Lehigh University Board of Trustees.  His clinical practice encompasses spine surgery and musculoskeletal oncology. His research interests are in the synthesis and characterization of novel degradable polymers for use in bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, nervous tissue regeneration, and controlled delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to musculoskeletal tumors.
       Wen-Bin Zhang is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University. He received his B.S. in Organic Chemistry from Peking University in 2004 and his Ph.D. in Polymer Science from the University of Akron in 2010. He continued at the University of Akron for his postdoctoral research under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Cheng for one year, before he moved to Caltech for a second postdoctoral training with Prof. David Tirrell in Protein Engineering and Biomaterials. His current research interests include the rational development of materials that bridges synthetic systems and biological systems for energy and health-related applications. In particular, he is interested in developing genetically encoded protein click chemistry and the use of such tools for protein topology engineering and protein-based bioactive materials.
       Prof. Shuguang Yang received his BS of Chemistry (2002) at Wuhan University and PhD of Polymer Science (2007) at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He was research assistant (2007-2008) in Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Peking University, and Postdoc Research Associate (2008-2010) in Department of Polymer Science, University of Akron. He has been professor of Material Science and Engineering since 2010, and associated director of Center for Advanced Low-dimension Materials, Donghua University since 2016. His academic interest is on structure and dynamics of low-dimension materials and his research is polymer complexes, coacervates, films, membrane and fibers.
