Plenary Speaker

Dr. Seungpyo Hong is the Milton J. Henrichs Chair and Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Director of Wisconsin Center for NanoBioSystems (WisCNano) at University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). He holds appointments as Adjunct Professor at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), and Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, while serving as Associate Editor for Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine of Elsevier. Dr. Hong is also active in entrepreneurship, co-founding a biotech startup called Capio Biosciences. He graduated from Hanyang University in Seoul, Korea with B.S. and M.S. degrees in polymer engineering in 1999 and 2001, respectively. He then received his PhD in Macromolecular Science and Engineering from University of Michigan in 2006 and joined MIT as a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Prof. Robert Langer. From 2008 to 2014, he was an Assistant Professor at UIC where he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2014, and subsequently joined the UW-Madison faculty as Full Professor in 2016. To date, Prof. Hong’s research has culminated in over 120 peer-reviewed articles that have accumulated a total of over 21,000 citations (h-index: 54), 1 co-edited book, 8 book chapters, and 23 issued or pending patents, while delivering over 200 invited talks worldwide. His scientific contributions have been well recognized, resulting in him receiving honors, including 2022 Inducted Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and 2012 New Investigator Award from American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).

Plenary Abstract

Dr. Sourav Bhattacharjee

Dr. Sourav Bhattacharjee
University College Dublin, Ireland
Keynote Speaker

Dr. Sourav Bhattacharjee graduated with MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery) in 2004 from the Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata (India) in 2004. After a brief period of Resident training in Orthopedic Surgery, he joined MSc in Biomolecular Sciences/Cell Biology in the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (2006). In the meanwhile, he moved to the Edinburgh (UK), where he worked under the supervision of Prof. Vicki Stone at the Napier University. Upon finishing MSc, he began his Ph.D. in the Wageningen University (Netherlands) in 2008 which he successfully defended in 2012 with a very good thesis grade and quite a few research papers. Following that, he worked for a year as a postdoc at the University of Twente (Netherlands). From March 2014 he joined Prof. David Brayden’s group in UCD as a postdoc working on the EU FP7 funded TRANS-INT consortium trying to develop nanoparticulate drug delivery platforms for oral insulin delivery. From February 2016 Sourav joined the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine as an Assistant Professor in Veterinary Anatomy while also trying to develop his own niche of research encompassing a broad range of nanobiotechnology and advanced microscopy tools for effective diagnostic and drug delivery platforms. Sourav maintains an active research group with a strong presence of enthusiastic and scientifically motivated students (PhD, Bachelors and Masters), while have already been named at the Top 2% Scientists by Elsevier/Stanford University rankings for consecutive five years (2020–2024). Sourav is also an Editorial Board member of the Journal of Anatomy and Nature Scientific Reports.
