Transdermal Theranostics Nanyang Technological University |
Abstract
Skin offers an easily accessible site for drug administration as well as for health signal monitoring, with non-invasiveness or minimal-invasiveness, convenience, and good patient compliance. Transdermal theranostics promises for personalized, home-based, and long-term management of chronic diseases, and is expected to change the landscape of healthcare profoundly. In this talk, I will share our works on transdermal drug delivery and sensing biomarkers in skin interstitial fluid.

Bio
Dr Chen completed his doctorate in electrical engineering with research focus on electrophysiology at University of Missouri - Columbia in 2002. Then he did his post-doctoral training in Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University where he conducted research on nanopore based single-molecule sensing. In 2005, Dr. Chen joined Division of Bioengineering at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) as an assistant professor. He is now a full professor of bioengineering in school of chemical & biomedical engineering, School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. Dr. Chen’s group works at the interface of biology, nanomaterials, and engineering in the efforts to develop novel biosensors and biotechnologies to address biomedical problems. He is a fellow of fellow of royal society of chemistry and a Clarivate global highy cited researcher.
