Professor Chunying Chen received her Bachelor's degree in chemistry (1991) and obtained her PhD degree (1996) in Biomedical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology of China. She held postdoctoral positions at the Key Laboratory of Nuclear Analytical Techniques, Institute of High Energy Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences (1996-1998) and at the Medical Nobel Institute for Biochemistry of Karolinska Institute, Sweden (2001-2002). Dr. Chen currently is a principal investigator at CAS Key Laboratory for Biological Effects of Nanomaterials and Nanosafety in National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China. She has authored or co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed papers or book chapters and three patents. She is a member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and Chinese Society of Toxicology. Her current research interests include the development of analytical approaches for metallomics and metalloproteomics such as isotopic labeling and synchrotron radiation based techniques that allow the detection of interaction of metal and molecular species; the potential toxicity of nanoparticles used for nanotechnology applications; the therapy for malignant tumor using nanoparticles for their immunomodulatory effects, drug delivery and tumor targeting; extensive in vitro and in vivo studies in cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles and tissue and cellular targeting for cancer treatment; the improvement of HIV vaccine treatment by novel nanotechnology using nanomaterials as potential non-viral vectors; public health impact of long-term exposure of metals in susceptible population strata.
