Kensuke Osada received his Ph.D. degree in Dept. of Organic and Polymeric Materials, Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2002. After Postdoctoral fellow of JSPS: Dept. of Materials Engineering in the University of Tokyo, he worked as Assistant Professor at Dept. of Materials Engineering in the University of Tokyo (2004-2006), and then Associate Professor from 2006-present. He received Encouragement of Research in Polymer Science (The Society of Polymer Science, Japan) (2006), Encouragement of Research (Japan Association for Chemical Innovation) (2012), Takagi Award (2013). His main research interests include Polymer science, Biomaterials,Gene and siRNA delivery, and Drug delivery.

 

There is a strong impetus for the development of biomaterials directed for medical applications. In particular, nanocarriers delivering therapeutic agents such as drugs and nucleic acids are attracting significant attention as Nano-DDS mediated targeted therapy for intractable diseases. This talk focuses development of supramolecular “smart” nanocarriers as drug and gene delivery system fabricated through self-assembly process from functional block copolymers, and introduce our challenges from basic achievements into clinical applications for cancer therapy.
