Chalet Tan

University of Tennessee

USA

Professor Chalet Tan received her PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Georgia and completed postdoctoral training in cancer biology and immunology at the National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI). With strong expertise in nanomedicine and pharmacokinetics, Professor Tan’s laboratory at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center focuses on targeted drug delivery and immunotherapy for infectious diseases and cancers.

Meital Zilberman

Tel-Aviv University

Israel

Prof. Zilberman holds an appointment of Full Professor at the Department of  Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Tel Aviv University. Her research interests are polymeric biomaterials, active implants and scaffolds for tissue engineering, and drug- delivery systems. During 2015-2020 she served as the president of Israel Society for Medical and Biological Engineering (ISMBE). She published more than 120 articles in the top Biomaterials, Biomedical Engineering and Polymers journals, invented over 30 patents, and delivered about 250 presentations (including invited talks keynote and plenary lectures).

Lia Krusin-Elbaum

City College of New York

USA

Lia Krusin-Elbaum is a Professor of Physics at The City College of New York since 2010. Her Ph.D. degree is in Condensed Matter Physics (NYU, 1979) and she was a scientist at the IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center, NY (1979-2010). Dr. Krusin-Elbaum is a recipient of ten IBM Invention Achievement Awards and holds over 27 US patents. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1993-) and was elected (2022) to serve on the USDOE Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee. She is a co-lead of the Columbia U. NSF-MRSEC PAQM (2020-) and of the NSF-CREST IDEALS Centers (2015-).

Wen Zhong

University of Manitoba

Canada

Dr. Wen Zhong is a Professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering and the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba. She earned her Ph.D. from Donghua University in China and completed her postdoctoral training at the University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on functional biomaterials and high-performance hydrogels for applications in biomedical engineering, wound healing, biosensing, and sustainable environmental technologies. Dr. Wen Zhong has published her work in journals like Advanced Science, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, and Biomaterials.

Malcolm Xing

University of Manitoba

Canada

Dr. Xing is a Professor at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. He specializes in hydrogels and nanomaterials for tissue engineering, bioadhesives, hemostasis, biofabrication, and implantable flexible biosensors. With over 200 publications in journals such as Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Advanced Materials, his work on superelastic hydrogels for myocardial infarction, burns, and tissue regeneration has received notable recognition, including features in Nature Reviews Cardiology, ACS headline news and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He developed a hydrophobic polymer entanglement system for bio-glues and hemostasis, highlighted by Matter, and proposed a bioglue combining adhesion and hemostatic functions, featured in Science and Nature Review Materials. His research on sustainable materials has been covered by Time, Fortune, CBC and CTV. Dr. Xing is an elected fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

Giuseppe Nenna

ENEA

Italy

Giuseppe Nenna received his Ph.D. in ‘New Technologies for Materials, Sensors and Imaging’ from Naples University “Federico II” in 2009. He is working as a senior researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA). His activities are focused on Optics and Electronics, to study radiation-matter interaction, develop new optics elements and optoelectronic devices. He was involved in several Italian and European projects related to photonics, optoelectronic, sensors and photoresponsive materials. He participated in the creation of several patents based on optical instruments or optoelectronic systems.

Gregory A Hudalla

University of Florida

USA
