NDDTE'19 Keynote
Serena Mazzucchelli, PhD, is assistant professor in Biochemistry at the University of Milan. She received her bachelor degree in Biological Sciences in 2004, master degree in Biology in 2006 and PhD in Biological Sciences in 2009 at the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences (University of Milan-Bicocca-Italy). From 2009 to 2012 she did a post-doc position at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences “L. Sacco” (University of Milan-Italy). From 2012 to 2015 she has been researcher at the Nanomedicine Unit of the “L. Sacco” University Hospital. Today, SM is a fixed-term researcher at the Nanomedicine laboratory of the University of Milan carrying out her research activity focused on the development of nanodevices for diagnosis and therapy of breast cancer at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences “L. Sacco”. SM is author of 37 paper in peer-review journals.
Topic of Keynote:
Ferritin-Based Nanodrug for the Treatment of Breast Cancer
Dr. Moganavelli Singh
University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
NDDTE'19 Keynote Speaker
Prof Moganavelli Singh graduated with a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2006. She is currently an Associate Professor, Researcher and Head of the Non-Viral Gene and Drug Delivery Laboratory at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Her research interests are interdisciplinary, and include the development and biological evaluation of novel non-viral (polymeric, lipid and inorganic) nanoparticles as potential gene and drug delivery vehicles for cancer gene therapy. Among the nanoparticles currently under evaluation in her laboratory are gold, silver, selenium, and magnetic iron nanoparticles. In addition she is also involved in the evaluation of the anti-cancer activities of chemically synthesized and medicinal plant compounds.
Topic of Keynote:
An Overview of Nanoparticles in Gene and Drug Delivery In Vitro
Dr. Kunn Hadinoto Ong
Nanyang Technological University , Singapore
NDDTE'19 Keynote Speaker
Dr. Kunn Hadinoto is currently an associate professor in the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). He has a bachelor degree in chemical engineering from University of Washington (USA) and PhD also in chemical engineering from Purdue University (USA). His current research focuses on sustainable pharmaceutical engineering and formulation of amorphous nanopharmaceuticals.
Topic of Keynote:
Amorphous drug nanoparticle complex as bioavailability enhancement strategy of poorly soluble drugs
ICNNFC'19 Keynote Speakers
Dr. Olaf Walter
European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre, Germany
ICNNFC'19 Keynote
At the end of 1994 Olaf concluded his PhD at the University of Heidelberg with Prof. G. Huttner. Then he joined the Bertini group in Florence until March 1997. Afterwards he worked at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (today: KIT) in the field of catalysis and process development where in 2000 he was awarded with a permanent position. In 2011 he moved to the JRC-Karlsruhe (formerly: ITU) where since 2013 he is employed as research official in the field of syntheses and characterisation. His research interests are the complex and organometallic chemistry of the actinides, and their application towards the synthesis of nano-sized materials. He is (co-)author of ca 140 journal contributions.
Topic of Keynote:
Actinide dioxide nanoparticles: low temperature synthesis for materials
Dr. Christopher Lan
University of Ottawa, Canada
ICNNFC'19 Keynote
Professor Christopher Q. Lan obtained his PhD degree from the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Western University in 2001. Upon graduation, he worked in the private sector for a short period before carrying out postdoctoral studies in the University of California at Davis. He joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of Ottawa in 2003 and has been working there until now. Professor Lan’s research interests mainly locate in Membrane Technologies and Microalgal Biotechnology and their applications in separation and purification, cooling, wastewater treatment, and value added products.
