Prof. Laurent Meijer
ManRos Therapeutics
Perha Pharmaceuticals
Roscoff, France
One of the world’s leading experts in disease-relevant kinases and their pharmacological inhibitors. Dr. Meijer has generated more than 40 patents, published over 340 articles, edited 6 books and has been working with three Nobel Prize recipients. In 1985-86, with Edwin Krebs (Nobel Prize award 1992), he extensively characterized the M-phase specific Histone H1 kinase (which turned out to be CDK1/cyclin B). In the late ’80s, with Tim Hunt (Nobel Prize award 2001), he identified the CDK1 associated regulatory subunit as cyclin B. With Paul Greengard (Nobel Prize award 2000), he has been studying brain protein kinases and pharmacological inhibitors for three years (2001-2004) at the Rockefeller University (New York).
Prof. Jun Wang
School of Medicine and South China University of Technology (SCUT)
Guangzhou, China
Professor Wang has actively conducted research on anticancer nanomedicine carriers and tumor microenvironment, and has made innovative academic achievements as systematically revealing the effect of nano characteristics of nano drug carriers on the in vivo fate; proposed and developed a new idea of drug carrier material design for activation within the acidic environment of tumor, and comprehensively overcoming multiple barrier to its delivery in vivo.
