Jian Yang is an assistant professor of Bioengineering. He received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. After graduating, Dr. Yang became a postdoctoral research fellow and research associate in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Northwestern University. He holds one patent in China and has four pending in the U.S. His research interests are in the areas of polymer synthesis and characterization, cell scaffold fabrication, tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery. He will teach a course titled "Selected Topics in Bioengineering" this fall.
2008 Spring The objective of this course is to provide engineering students with an in-depth description of the synthesis, fabrication, properties, and biomedical applications of nanobiomaterials. Topics include: introduction of biomaterials, introduction of nanobiomaterials, synthetic nanobiomaterials, biological nanobiomaterials (DNA nanomaterials, protein and peptide nanomaterials, etc), biofunctionalization of nanobiomaterials, use of nanobiomaterials in tissue engineering, drug delivery, gene delivery, cancer therapy, and bioimaging. Key advances from the recent literatures will be reviewed to supplement specific lecture topics.
