报告题目：Tailoring Polymeric Platforms for Diagnostics and Delivery
报告时间：2019年10月18日(周五)上午10:00
报告地点：南开大学蒙民伟楼201室
报告内容：
Polymeric materials such as polymer brushes, hydrogels and nanofibrous coatings on planar and curved interfaces that are amenable toward facile multi-functionalization with biorecognition, imaging, therapeutic and targeting agents are attractive platforms for addressing many of the challenges faced in conventional diagnostics and therapy. The talk will report our approaches toward fabrication of novel polymeric coatings, hydrogels, nanogels and nanofibers containing clickable functional groups. In particular, I will highlight the utilization of simple, yet powerful, organic transformations to tailor polymeric materials for target applications. Examples of tailoring functional interfaces either through covalent or non-covalent interactions to impart particular attributes necessary for certain applications will be highlighted.
