  1. 244th American Chemical Society National Meeting August 19-23, 2012, Philadelphia, PA Materials in Health and Medicine Theme Organizer: XinqiaoJia University of Delaware 8/23/2011

  2. Theme Organizer XinqiaoJia Associate Professor, Materials Science and Engineering Affiliated Faculty, Biomedical Engineering Secondary Appointment, Biological Sciences University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716 http://udel.edu/~xjia/ Education: Postdoctoral Researcher, Chemical Engineering, MIT, 2002-2005 Ph.D., Polymer Science and Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Amherst 2002 BS, Applied Chemistry, Fudan University, China, 1995 Research interest: Biomaterials, drug delivery, tissue engineering

  3. Materials in Health and Medicine Sub-theme: • Developmental biology, complexity of biological systems • Novel biomaterials (responsive materials, self-assembled materials, new chemistries for materials synthesis) • Biomaterials in drug delivery/tissue engineering • Biomaterials in imaging and diagnosis • In vivo and in vitro responses of materials • Micro-fabricated medical devices

  4. TheKavli Foundation Innovations in Chemistry Lecture • The KavliFoundation (www.kavlifoundation.org) is sponsoring the Kavli Foundation Innovation in Chemistry Lectures for the 2011 – 2013 national meetings. • Funding provided by The Kavli Foundation will help: • Support the thematic program of the meeting • Recruit the best keynote speakers • Attract greater attendance to the national meetings • The Kavli Lecturer is selected by the Kavli Selection Committee chaired by the ACS-President Elect during the year preceding the national meeting. • For the San Diego national meeting in 2012: • ACS President-Elect Bassam Shakhashiri, Kavli Selection Committee Chair • Peter Stang, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the American Chemical Society • Robert McMahon, Editor, Journal of Organic Chemistry • Peter Senter, Thematic Program Chair for San Diego and Senior Editor, Bioconjugate Chemistry • David Lohse, MPPG Chair • Mark Sessa, COMSCI Representative • Similar Kavli Selection Committee, with the addition of XinqiaoJia, will be assembled after the Denver meeting to select the Kavli Lecturer for the Philadelphia meeting

  5. Proposed Speakers for TheKavliLecture Bob Langer (MIT) • MIT Institute Professor • Member of 3 national academies • Most cited engineer in history • 1,130 articles, 800 issued and pending patents worldwide. • Patents have been licensed or sublicensed to over 220 pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology and medical device companies. • Pioneer of the fields of drug delivery and tissue engineering • Nanotechnology and biomaterials • First circulating nanoparticles • Intelligent microchips with nanowells • Switchable surfaces • Nanoliter-based synthesis approach for creating materials to control stem cell differentiation

  6. Proposed Speakers for TheKavliLecture Don Ingber (Children’s hospital and Harvard Medical School) • Judah Folkman Professor in Vascular Biology • Founding director of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering • 300 publications and 40 patents • Tissue engineering, angiogenesis, cancer, system biology, nanobiotechnology • Pioneering contributions to the fields of angiogenesis, tissue engineering, mechanobiology, and systems biology. • His work on how blood vessels form led to the development of TNP-470, one of the first angiogenesis inhibitors to enter clinical trials • Tensegrity model: a system stabilizes itself mechanically by balancing local compression with continuous tension, fundamental principle in the way living organisms are structured at the nanometer scale • Ultra-sensitive clinical diagnostics to nanoscale medical devices, engineered tissues, and biologically-inspired materials for tissue repair and reconstruction
