Position: Professor in Nanomedicine
Affiliation: Liverpool John Moores University
Short Bio: Professor Imran Saleem is a professor in nanomedicine within the School of Pharmacy & Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, UK and Leader of Nanomedicine, Formulation & Delivery Research Group. His research is aimed at developing novel delivery systems for targeting therapeutic agents to their site of action, with particular emphasis on lung diseases via pulmonary delivery. He has over 20 years’ experience in the area of micro/nanoparticle formulation and drug delivery systems, and has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, conference abstracts and book chapters. His research group is focused on the design and development of nanocarriers for delivery of biomacromolecules including, genes,peptides, vaccines and drugs.

Position: Head of Department
Affiliation: RWTH Aachen University Clinic
Short bio: Twan Lammers obtained a DSc in Radiation Oncology from Heidelberg University in 2008 and a PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology from Utrecht University in 2009. In the same year, he started the Nanomedicine and Theranostics group at RWTH Aachen University. In 2014, he was promoted to full professor of medicine at RWTH Aachen University Clinic. His group aims to individualize and improve disease treatment by combining drug targeting with imaging. He is included in the Clarivate Analytics list of Highly Cited Researchers, is a past president of the Controlled Release Society and currently serves as secretary of the European Society for Molecular Imaging.

Lecture title: Smart Cancer Nanomedicine
Description of the lecture: Nanomedicines are extensively used for cancer therapy. By delivering drug molecules more effectively and more selectively to pathological sites, nanomedicines assist in improving the balance between drug efficacy and toxicity. The tumor accumulation of nanomedicines is traditionally ascribed to the EPR effect, which is highly variable, both in animal models and in patients. To address issues associated with tumor targeting heterogeneity, and to ad-vance cancer nanomedicine clinical translation, we are working on systems and strategies to monitor and modu-late tumor-targeted drug delivery. In the present lecture, several of these strategies will be highlighted, including image-guided interventions to prime the tumor microenvironment, and the use of imaging and tissue biomarkers for patient stratification.
Altogether, our work aims to establish rational and realistic ways forward towards im-proving the clinical impact of cancer nanomedicines.
