INTRODUCTION OF THE ASSOCIATE DEAN
Jun WU
PhD in Biomedical Engineering Cornell University, 2011
Dr. Jun Wu joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) as an Associate Professor in Bioscience and Biomedical Engineering Thrust in 2022. He also holds an affiliated Associate Professor position at the Division of Life Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Before that, Dr. Wu is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University from 2015 to 2022. Dr. Wu finished his BS, MS and PhD degree at Nanjing University, SUNY at Stony Brook, and Cornell University. During 2010 to 2015, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with Professors Robert Langer and Omid Farokhzad to study the polymeric nanomedicine at Harvard Medical School(HMS) and MIT. In 2015, he was promoted to Instructor at HMS. Dr. Wu is interested in developing novel biomaterials (polymers and small molecules) as drug carriers/tissue engineering scaffolds to treat important diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, bone regeneration and skin repairing. His research areas include drug delivery, tissue engineering, nanomedicine and theranostics.
