His recent innovations as an Early Career Researcher in Biomaterials have led to international recognition from the Biomaterials Interfaces Division of the American Vacuum Society (2015), the UK Society for Biomaterials (2017 Larry Hench Young Investigator Prize) and most recently, he was selected as 2019 Emerging Investigator by the journal Biomaterials Science.
Chao Zhong
ShanghaiTech University, China
Chao Zhong is a tenured Associate Professor and Principal Investigator at ShanghaiTech University, China. He currently directs the Materials and Physical Biology Division located at the School of Physical Science and Technology (SPST). The Zhong laboratory is currently undertaking an “Integrative Bio-inspired Molecular Engineering” (IBME) research program, aiming to leverage synthetic biology tools for engineering living materials and bionanotechnologies. Chao received his B.E. in MSE from Tianjin University and his Ph.D. from Cornell University in the area of biomaterials. He conducted his postdoctoral research at the University of Washington, Seattle, where he developed the first solid-state bioprotonic field-effect transistor. He then worked as a research associate at the MIT Synthetic Biology Center, where he developed self-assembling multi-protein underwater adhesives using a modular genetic strategy. As first or correspondence authors, he has published 40+ papers in prestigious international journals such as Nature Nano, Nature Chemical Biology, Science Advances, Nature communications, Advanced Materials, and Materials Today, to name a few. He is the recipient of several awards including the “1000 Young Scholar Plan” sponsored by the Central Government of China, the “Dawn” Scholar Program of Shanghai Education Commission, and the MIT outstanding Post-doctoral research award.
Jonathan Wilker
Purdue University, USA
Jonathan grew up in the Boston area and was often taken to the beach by his parents. Now at Purdue University, his research program focuses on materials produced by marine organisms. A particular focus is the adhesives and cements produced by mussels and oysters for sticking to rocks. Ongoing efforts include characterization of these marine biological materials, developing synthetic polymer mimics, and designing applications for these new materials. Projects are often inspired by what is seen in the seas.
Markus Linder
Aalto University, Finland
Markus Linder is professor of biomolecular materials at Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. The group works towards a molecular understanding of biological materials. A major approach is to use bionanoscience together with protein engineering to reconstruct materials. The work aims towards sustainable technology and new high-performance biologically produced materials.
The research in protein engineering for materials has revealed new nanomaterial self-assembly mechanisms and properties. By exploiting these, sensors, responsive materials, drug delivery systems, surface functionalization, and even enhanced oil recovery etc have been achieved. Protein engineering has been used toto join together different types of nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and cellulose. Recent advances include the use of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to achieve the assembly of protein-based materials by using precisely design new proteins that function as adhesives for the matrix component in high-toughness composites. These engineered proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions from e.g. spider silk together with adhesive domains. Continuing efforts focus on the role of LLPS in the assembly of biological materials.
Marleen Kamperman
Cornell University, USA
Prof. Dr. Marleen Kamperman is interested in the biologically inspired synthesis of polymers and nanostructured surfaces with controlled adhesive and mechanical properties. She received her PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, where she worked in the group of Prof. Wiesner on the development of ordered mesoporous high-temperature ceramics using block copolymers. From 2008 to 2010, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the Functional Surfaces group of Prof. Arzt at INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken, Germany, where she worked on the development of bio-inspired responsive adhesive systems. She started her group ‘Bioinspired Functional Polymers’ at Wageningen University in the Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter department in September 2010. In 2018 she was appointed Full Professor in Polymer Science at the University of Groningen. In the new research group that she established in Groningen she combines her experience in polymer science and material development with the fundamentals of coacervation and bio-inspiration.
Nick Aldred
University of Essex, UK
Originally from Manchester, UK, Nick studied for an undergraduate degree in Marine Biology at the University of Wales, Bangor. After graduating in 2002, he moved to the Marine Biofouling Laboratory at Newcastle University where he completed his PhD and two post-doctoral projects before being appointed as a Faculty Research Fellow. In April 2020 he accepted a position in the Faculty of Science and Health at the University of Essex where he is now a Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences. Supported by national and international funders from the defence, charitable and industrial sectors, Nick’s research has retained a focus on fundamental questions surrounding the recruitment, settlement and adhesion of marine invertebrates, particularly barnacles, with the aim to inform more effective fouling-control technologies and the development of bio-inspired adhesives. Adhesion systems of marine invertebrates involve complex morphology, behaviours and various biogenic macromolecules including proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, all of which contribute to attachment underwater. Understanding the process of adhesion holistically, using multidisciplinary approaches, is challenging but essential if we are to unravel the complex attachment systems of marine invertebrates and inspire new technologies.
Daniel Ruiz-Molina
Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Spain
Daniel Ruiz-Molina earned his PhD in polyradical dendrimers at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) under Prof. Jaume Veciana. He then took a postdoctoral position at the University of California San Diego (USA), where he spent three years working on single molecule magnets and molecular switches. Since 2001 he has held a permanent position as a Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) researcher, most recently at the ICN2, where he is the leader of the ICN2 Nanostructured Functional Materials Group also known as NanosFun. His main research areas include the fabrication of hybrid colloids and surfaces, biomimetic functional nanostructures, and micro- or nanoparticles for smart applications and encapsulation and delivery systems.
Henrik Birkedal
Aarhus University, Denmark
Henrik Birkedal obtained his PhD with honors from Université de Lausanne, Switzerland, followed by a postdoc at University of California, Santa Barbara.
