1. Nanomaterials for cancer phototheranostics(Dr. Wei Tang)

Abstract:

Cancer phototherapies, especially photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), have gained great attention because of their highly spatiotemporal selectivity and minimal invasiveness. Although promising, several problems need to be addressed to deliver their maximum benefit to cancer care in the clinical translation. For example, tumor hypoxia impedes the efficacy of PDT; overheating in PTT induces unwanted damage to normal tissues. In this talk, I will introduce two novel techniques, RBC-PDT and Oxy-PFC-PDT, to co-deliver oxygen and photosensitizer to overcome hypoxia-associated resistance in PDT. I will discuss different strategies to avoid tumor overheating in PTT on the basis of novel theranostic nanoplatforms. I will also talk about approaches to modulate tumor microenvironment for boosted nanoparticle delivery and activation of immune system to achieve enhanced treatment outcomes.

Brief Biography:

Wei Tang received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 2011. In 2016, she got her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of Georgia. She is now working with Prof. Xiaoyuan (Shawn) Chen as a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Molecular Imaging and Nanomedicine (LOMIN) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Her research interest focuses on cancer phototherapy, development of multifunctional nanotheranostic agents, molecular imaging, and targeted drug delivery.


2. Superconducting technologies and applications in Nuclear Fusion, Accelerator and Industry(Dr. Chao Zhou)

Abstract:

Superconducting technology may benefit society in the fields of energy (e.g. nuclear fusion), scientific researcher (partial accelerator, like LHC) and electric power; industry and transport; diagnostic and medical care; as well as information and communications, but in general remains most important for generating high magnetic fields. The unique zero resistance state and ensuing high current density enables much smaller or more powerful coils for motors, generators, energy storage, medical equipment (Magnetic Resonance Imaging - MRI) and industrial applications like water- or materials purification. The high sensitivity of superconductors to magnetic field provides a superior sensing capability. The high magnetic fields may allow a new generation of transport technologies, including ship propulsion, magnetically levitated trains, and railway traction transformers. The technical feasibility of such applications has been proven world-wide in demonstrator units or prototypes. The most successful applications of superconductivity, however, is for generating high magnetic fields for physics and research, for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), for particle accelerators and - detectors and for various specialized laboratory magnets. In this talk, the applications in nuclear fusion, accelerator and Industry(like MRI)are briefly presented and discussed.

Brief Biography:

Dr. Chao Zhou received his M.Sc. from Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009, and then Ph. D. at Twente University, the Netherlands in 2014. He worked at International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Organization as a Postdoc and Monaco Fellow from 2014 to 2016. After that, he works at Twente University as Senior Scientist Researcher focusing on industrial superconducting applications (e.g. superconducting wind power, superconducting magnetic separation). Since 2009, his research covers superconducting material, strand, conductor and magnet in the field of superconducting science and technology; he has published 39 peer reviewed papers (15 papers of them published in Superconductor Science and Technology), and given invited and oral talks in the International magnet technology and applied superconductivity conferences.
