From 1994 to 1998, he was Postdoctoral Researcher and later Research Assistant at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS. Then he spent the period 1998�2001 as Postdoctoral Researcher in University of Düsseldorf and University of Mainz.

Since 2001, Chen was Professor at the Institute of Chemistry CAS. He moved to Sun Yat-sen University in 2013. Professor Chen’s research interests are in the areas of synthesis methodology of polymers and polymer application in nanomedicine on biologics delivery, immune activation and inhibition. He obtained “Distinguished Young Scholarsâ€� by National Science Foundation of China (2006) and “Wang Bo-Ren Polymer Research Awardâ€� by Chinese Chemistry Öйú365betÖÐÎĹÙÍø (2011).

Kristi Anseth

Kristi Anseth is a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Associate Faculty Director of the BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She currently holds the Tisone Professorship and is a Distinguished Professor. Dr. Anseth came to CU-Boulder after earning her B.S. degree from Purdue University, her Ph.D. degree from the University of Colorado, and completing post-doctoral research at MIT as an NIH fellow. Her research interests lie at the interface between biology and engineering where she designs new biomaterials for applications in drug delivery and regenerative medicine.

Dr. Anseth’s research group has published over 350 peer-reviewed manuscripts, and she has trained more than 110 graduate students and postdoctoral associates. She is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering (2009), the National Academy of Medicine (2009), the National Academy of Sciences (2013), the National Academy of Inventors (2016) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2019). Most recently, she received the L’Oreal-UNESCO for Women in Science Award in the Life Sciences (2020). Dr. Anseth has served on the Board of Directors and as President of the Materials Research Öйú365betÖÐÎĹÙÍø, the Board of Governors for Acta Materialia, Inc, the NIH Advisory Council for NIBIB, and as Chair of the NAE US Frontiers of Engineering meetings.

Cameron Alexander

Cameron Alexander is Professor of Polymer Therapeutics and a Royal Öйú365betÖÐÎĹÙÍø Wolfson Research Merit Fellow at the School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham, UK.

Professor Alexander received degrees (BSc and PhD) in Chemistry from the University of Durham, UK and carried out post-doctoral research at the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis, University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Öйú365betÖÐÎĹÙÍø of Chemistry and received the UK Macro Group Medal in 2014 for contributions to polymer science.
