Faculty Search Candidate Talk – Unconventional Nanobiophotonics: Upconversion/Persistent Luminescence Nanoparticles for Anti-cancer Therapy

Medical Sciences Building 3154

Kai Huang, PhD Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biotechnology University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School Abstract: Biophotonics has been widely applied as versatile and powerful approaches for biomedical applications, such as for bioimaging, biodetection, photodynamic therapy, and optogenetics. However, conventional biophotonics suffers from several constraints. For example, the short-wavelength excitation light cannot penetrate deep into […]

Invited Academic Seminar Series – Peter Yingxiao Wang- Remote Control of the Genetics within Tumors via Focused Ultrasound for Cancer Immunotherapy (Hybrid Delivery)

Medical Sciences Building 3154

Speaker Peter Yingxiao Wang Associate Professor, Bioengineering University of Southern California Abstract Focused ultrasound (FUS) can deliver energy safely and noninvasively into tissues at depths of centimeters. We show that the genetics and cellular functions of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) within tumors can be reversibly controlled by the heat generated by short […]
