美国德克萨斯大学陈伟教授来实验室作学术报告

应北京化工大学化工资源有效利用国家重点实验室吕超教授课题组邀请，美国德克萨斯大学陈伟教授于6月29日上午到访实验室并为我校师生作了题为“Nanomedicine and Cancer Treatment”的学术报告。

本次报告陈伟教授介绍了其课题组近年来利用纳米技术在癌症诊断和治疗方面开展的研究工作。陈伟教授首先介绍了“纳米技术”产生的背景及发展历程。之后，陈教授主要讲授了纳米颗粒自发光光动力学治疗的概念，指出利用纳米颗粒使得放射和光动力学治疗同时进行，可用于深度的癌症治疗，通过设计并合成的纳米复合材料不仅在癌症治疗上有着巨大的潜力，而且关乎人类健康和安全。CuS纳米颗粒作为光热治疗的加热剂用于治疗癌症，明显优于目前热门的Au纳米颗粒，大大降低了药品的成本，陈教授结合这部分内容介绍了纳米药物的靶标效应，进行了纳米药物开发过程中的市场及风险讨论。最后，陈教授与在场师生进行了热烈交流，对提出的每个问题都作了详细解答。此次报告内容新颖、生动，激发了师生浓厚的兴趣，与会师生纷纷表示受益匪浅。
