- December 2 2008 at 2:30 PMWelcome CenterThe Office of the Vice President for Research is hosting its next seminar in the John P. Oliver Nano@Wayne Seminar Series on Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. in the Welcome Center Auditorium, located at 42 W. Warren on the northwest corner of Woodward and Warren Avenues. The seminar is free and open to the public. The seminar will feature Shaoyi Jiang, Boeing-Roundhill Professor of Chemical Engineering & Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. Jiang will present, "Molecular Design and Development of Ultra Low Fouling Materials for Biomedical Applications." One problem that confounds researchers who are developing nanoparticles for use as cancer imaging and therapeutic agents is that many nanoparticles accumulate blood proteins on their surfaces and are often removed from circulation before reaching their tumor targets. Similarly protein arrays used in cancer biomarker discovery and diagnostics have high background noise due to nonspecific protein adsorption from blood. In his talk, Jiang will discuss the material design and application process aspects of a novel family of zwitterionic polymers. The surfaces coated with these polymers are highly resistant to nonspecific protein adsorption from undiluted human serum and plasma. These polymer materials are excellent alternatives for a wide range of biomedical applications including implantable medical devices, targeted drug/gene delivery carriers, nanosensors and antimicrobial coatings. Jiang received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Cornell University., and was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, and research fellow at Caltech. A reception will immediately follow the presentation. Parking is available in structure #3 for $3.50.
