PhD

Field of studies

Medical technologies

Deputy Director of the Laboratory of Biological Effects of Nanomaterials and Nanosafety of the China National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology (China PR)

Professor Liang has successfully developed «injectable nanomicellar powders with irinotecan» approved by the China Food and Drug Administration for clinical trials with China Resources Pharmaceutical Group. His research is focused on the development of nanopharmaceuticals for clinical tests and transfer of licences certified by the China Food and Drug Administration to pharmaceutical companies for their manufacturing. The researcher's academic interests lay in the determination of the mechanisms of the improvement of the biological availability of nanomedications by means of in vivo nanotechnologies and the development of new strategies to increase the therapeutic effect on cancer, infectious and immune diseases. Professor Liang's, laboratory investigates the enhancement of the efficiency of drug delivery for the prevention and treatment of various diseases on the basis of an understanding of the main physical, chemical, and biological processes related to nano-drugs. Additionally, using in vivo methods we conduct research in the field of nanoimmunology to investigate unique immune reactions occurring in the organism after the injection of medicinal nano-materials and nanoadjuvants. The prevailing part of the research is aimed at the targeted delivery of therapeutic molecules to target cells and tissues in vivo to increase the safety and the efficiency of medications.
