Hyunjoon Kong, a Robert W. Schaefer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Pathology as well as a Co-Principal Investigator of the MBM Program, will lecture on “Engineering of Cell Secretome Regulators for Tissue Vascularization and Homeostasis” at 4:00pm in 2269 Beckman Institute and on Zoom. Taylor Jorgensen, MBM Trainee and PhD candidate in Neuroscience, will give an introduction.
The lecture is free and open to the public courtesy of the Miniature Brain Machinery Program. Zoom details are below.
Bio:
Hyunjoon (Joon) Kong is a Robert W Schafer Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He also is affiliated with the Departments of Bioengineering and Pathobiology and is a member of the Regenerative Biology & Tissue Engineering research theme at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology. Professor Kong joined the department in 2007. He received his PhD from the University of Michigan. He completed his postdoctoral studies at the University of Michigan and was a research associate at Harvard University.
At Illinois, he has developed various active hybrid materials including stimulus-responsive or self-propelling colloids and hydrogels systems. He further uses the materials for molecular and cell therapies of vascular and brain diseases as well as an infection. Prof. Kong has authored or co-authored more than 150 research papers and over 8 issued and pending patent applications. He received multiple research awards. He also serves as a member of the international editorial board of Biomaterials. and the editorial board of Biofabrication.
The Kong group’s overall research goal is to develop active hybrid matters useful for bioscience, medicine, and environmental science. Specifically, they focus on creating simple, but novel methods to control nano- and micro-structure of synthetic and biological materials inspired by nature and further modulate chemical and physical properties of materials. In addition, they are exploring use of the resulting matters in multiple applications including drug delivery, anti-fouling, diagnosis/bioimaging, drug/cell therapies, and biomachinery.
