We are very pleased to announce Professor Jianjun Cheng as the new Editor-in-Chief for Biomaterials Science

Profile photo of Professor Jianjun ChengJianjun Cheng has been appointed as the new Editor-in-Chief for Biomaterials Science, taking over from Professor Jennifer Elisseeff, after serving as an Associate Editor for Biomaterials Science for over seven. Jianjun Cheng is the Hans Thurnauer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Professor of Chemistry and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and Fellow of the American Chemical Society Division of Polymer Chemistry. His research focuses on developing polymeric and nanomaterials for biomedical applications, such as functional polypeptides, nanomedicines for drug and gene delivery, cell labelling for in vivo targeting and controlled release bionanomaterials.
