Title：Design and Development of Nanomaterials with Controlled Immunostimulatory Effects for Biomedical Applications

Speaker：Prof. Bingbin Sun

Abstract：

Engineered nanobiomaterials (ENMs) are rapidly emerging as a new class of materials that allow tuning of their physicochemical properties for biomedical applications. With the exposure of ENMs to biological entities, the first barrier they encounter is the immune system, which plays very important roles in both human health and disease development. However, the mechanisms by which ENMs could generate immunostimulatory effects at the nano-bio interface are still not fully understood. In light of this, my research focuses on immunoengineering, which involves developing ENMs with tunable physicochemical properties, investigating the interaction of ENMs with immune systems, and further customizing their applications in vaccine adjuvant development.

Bio： 

Bingbing Sun, professor and doctorate tutor. In 2002 and 2005, he received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in the Department of chemical engineering at the Dalian University of Technology. He received a doctorate from the Department of chemical engineering of University of Washington in 2011. The post doctoral study was conducted at the University of California at Los Angeles medical school and the nanotechnology environmental impact center of the University of California in the United States. In 2016, he was slected in the Young overseas high-level talents introduction plan and incorporated into the school of chemical engineering of Dalian University of Technology. Research directions include biomaterials, nanomaterials - biological interfaces, vaccine adjuvant, biosafety of nanomaterials, the evaluation and prevention of environmental pollutants and so on.
