报告内容:

Biomolecular engineering bridges the gap between basic research and clinical needs. We have designed and developed polydisulfide-based biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agents for evaluating tumor angiogenesis and targeted Gd(III) based MRI contrast agents for detecting a cancer-related biomarker expressed in the extracellular matrix of malignant tumors. We have also developed simple and **art multifunctional delivery systems to deliver therapeutic siRNAs into the cytopla** of cancer cells to regulate the expression of disease related genes to effectively treat life-threatening diseases, including metastatic and drug resistance breast cancer.
