简介： Dr. Luo is a full professor in the West China Hospital, Sichuan University, China. From 2009 to 2011, he carried out his postdoctoral work on polymeric nanomedicines at the Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Utah, USA, under the supervision of Prof. Jindrich Kopecek. Dr. Luo was promoted to an associate professor in 2012 and Full Professor in 2013 in Sichuan University. From 2016, he is a Full Professor and PI in West China Hospital, Sichuan University, China. 

Dr. Luo’s research in the past few years has been focused on stimuli-responsive and biodegradable polymeric gene/drug delivery vehicles and imaging probes for cancer diagnosis and therapy. The main thrust of his research is the study of the stimuli-responsive, biodegradable and functionalized synthetic macromolecules (including functional polysaccharides, synthesized linear and dendritic polymers) as potential cancer therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and the relationships between their actions and structural features. Those interdisciplinary approaches involve clinical medicine, biomedicine, pharmaceutics, imaging, polymer chemistry, organic and physical chemistry and molecular biology. Dr. Luo has authored over 100 peer-reviewed papers, 10 patents, 4 chapters and 12 fundings.
