Pharmaceutics & Drug Delivery

Biography

Ling Peng is a leading expert in developing functional dendrimer nanosystems for drug delivery in biomedical applications.Dr. Ling Peng is a research director at the French National Scientific Research Center (CNRS). She carried her undergraduate study in chemistry at Nanjing University in China, then joined the group of Professor Albert Eschenmoser at Swiss Federal Institute of Polytechnic in Zurich in 1987 for her Ph.D program. After she completed her Ph.D thesis on the synthesis of modified DNA oligonucleotides in 1993, she spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow in the group of Prof. Maurice Goeldner at Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg in France, where she developed various photosensitive probes to investigate the functions of cholinesterases and biomembranes.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 CAOST Actions.er research team has been labelled by La Ligue contre Le Cancer in France for the period of 2016-2020, and she was awarded for the Prize of Dr and Mrs Henri Labbé by the French Academy of Sciences in 2017.
