- Doctoral degree| Tianjin University| School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology| 2012
- Bachelor’s Degree| Tianjin University| School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology| 2007
- Study on various nanocarrier systems in cancer therapy.
- 3. Physiotherapy and chemotherapy are employed synergistically to amplify anti-tumor function.
Combination therapies are commonly employed synergistically to
treat high-risk tumors with a goal of total tumor eradication. - 2. Multi-functionalized nanocarriers facilitate tumor targeting therapy.
Nanocarriers were functionalized by various ways to perform efficient tumor targeting and controlled release. - 1. Smart-responsive liposomal system for tumor-specific therapeutics.
Smart liposomal system could receive specific signals broadcasted from tumor cells, thus realize specifically triggered-release.
