Résumé :

Bing Yan received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1990 and pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge, U.K., and University of Texas Medical School in Houston from 1990 to 1993. From 1993 to 2005 he worked in the drug discovery field at Novartis, DPI, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. He was a Full Member of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, from 2007 to 2012, and has been Cheung Kong Scholar Professor at Shandong University, China, since 2005. He served as associate editor of the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry published by the American Chemical Society from 2005 to 2012 and is currently associate editor of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety and of NanoImpact. He has published 11 books and more than 220 peer-reviewed papers.

Hongyu Zhou is a professor at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. He received his Ph.D. degree in Medicinal Chemistry from Shandong University, China, in 2009. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemical Biology & Therapeutics at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN from 2009 to 2012 and in the Department of Surgery at Emory University from 2012 to 2016. His research focuses on development of novel surface-modified nanoparticle combinatorial libraries to regulate the biological properties of nanoparticles and nanoparticle-based drug delivery, cancer therapy, and imaging systems.
