The central theme of the Wang laboratory research program is to apply advances from the physical sciences and engineering sciences to oncology. Our work has three main research directions: (1) application of nanotechnology to the development of novel cancer therapies, (2) application of tissue engineering technology to the development of novel cancer metastasis models and (3) application of biomedical engineering to the development of novel medical devices. In this seminar, I plan to share our work on the development and clinical translation of nanotherapeutics in cancer chemoradiotherapy treatment. We will also discuss our recent work on applying nanotechnology to improve cancer immunotherapy. The last part of the seminar will focus on the application of tissue engineering for cancer model development.
