Biography
Dr Ling Peng is a leading expert in developing functional dendrimer nanosystems for drug delivery in biomedical applications. She has successfully established bio-inspired structurally flexible and self-assembling dendrimer nanosystems for drug and nucleic acid delivery. One of the dendrimers developed by her team has been scheduled in clinical trials. Dr Peng has coordinated and participated in different European projects and actively involved in several European COST Actions. She is currently a research director at the French National Scientific Research Center (CNRS), and a principle investigator at the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille (CINaM). Her research team has been labelled by La Ligue contre Le Cancer in France, and she was awarded for the Prize of Dr and Mrs Henri Labbé by the French Academy of Sciences in 2017.
