Short Biography
Dr Timothy Tan obtained his Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia. He is interested in the engineering, manipulation and interrogation of nano-biophotonic systems, with an ultimate goal of enhancing biological and chemical functions. His group has developed novel upconversion nanotheranostics suitable for photodynamic and photothermal therapy, photoacoustic imaging and skin photomedicine, with potential application in eczema and carcinoma phototherapy. His group has also innovated various smart hydrogel delivery platform which has demonstrated effective siRNA delivery.
Dr Tan has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and obtained/applied for 8 patents. His work has garnered more 5500 citations with a H-index of 44. His recent awards include Singapore President’s Public Administration Award 2015 and Young Investigator Award in “International Symposium of Materials on Regenerative Medicine 2012”.
Research Interests
Nanobio-interfaces, nanophotonics, nano-architecture engineering, biomaterials.
