主讲人简介：Prof. Joachim Kohn is the director of the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, Rutgers University, a leading research center that develops clinically useful therapies for a wide range of diseases. He has 69 issued US Patents on novel biomaterials and seven companies have licensed his technologies. He is also the Chair of the International College of Fellows of Biomaterials Science and Engineering. Due to his contributions, Prof. Kohn has received many awards and honors, including the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award for best patent in New Jersey in the category of medical research, and the Clemson Award from the Society for Biomaterials. Prof. Kohn’s scientific expertise ranges from synthetic polymer chemistry and materials science to drug delivery, cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. He pioneered the use of combinatorial and computational methods for the optimization of biomaterials for specific medical applications. He discovered pseudo-poly(amino acid)s- a new class of polymers, which have been used to develop several kinds of medical devices for implantation in about 200,000 patients.
