✨New paper alert ✨ Many years after pioneering activatable photosensitizers, the Zheng lab presents a thorough review of the field in Angewandte Chemie, including a critical assessment of where it stands today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research Medical Biophysics

Activatable Photosensitizers: From Fundamental Principles to Advanced Designs (Gang Zheng and co-workers) Gang Zheng Lab #AngewandteReview #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congratulations to Gang Zheng who has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (Royal Society of Chemistry). The Royal Society of Chemistry was founded in UK in 1848 and remains a world leading organization recognizing the highest level of accomplishment in the field of chemistry.

How exanctly does lipid-siRNA organization control the intracellular dynamics of LNPs? Our latest J. Am. Chem. Soc. article provides insights on the link between LNP internal structure and its intracellular delivery profiles. 🧬 Gang Zheng Gang Zheng Lab pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

✨New paper alert! ✨

Our beloved scientific associate Juan Chen has been honored with the King Charles III Coronation Medal, recognizing her contribution to Canadian healthcare! She was nominated by Terry Fox Foundation Terry Fox Research Institute; We are so proud of you, Juan!

Health Canada has approved clinical trials for porphysomes—light-activated nanoparticles that target tumours. A major milestone for University Health Network's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre after a decade of advancing the tool for cancer imaging and therapy. uhnresearch.ca/news/canadian-… Gang Zheng Lab UHN Research

Porphysomes are reaching clinical trials! A huge achievement with collective efforts of many past and present Zheng Lab members!

💫New Doctor alert!💫Yesterday, lab member Tiffany Ho brilliantly defended her PhD from Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy with the incredible presence of Drs. HasanLab, Bowen LI, Lothar Lilge and Raymond Reilly. Congrats Dr. Ho!

✨Shout out to lab member Tina Weng for winning the Poster Award on Drug Formulations and Delivery systems at the annual symposium of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy Centre for Pharmaceutical Oncology!! ✨

💫Congratulations to team member Elham Zeinizade for winning a Research Excellence Award from Carbon to Metal Coating Institute (C2MCI)!! 💫

✨New Doctor Alert!✨Last Friday, Yulin Mo defended his PhD and had his thesis approved without corrections!

From cancer #immunotherapy to wearable #rehabilitation technology and advanced drug-delivery systems, University Health Network innovations are shaping the future of health care. Stay tuned as we highlight some of the medical technologies developed at UHN. 🔗 Learn more: uhncommercialization.ca/for-industry/t…

We are so proud to see our research get closer and closer to saving lives! utoronto.ca/news/made-toro…

Yesterday, Zheng Lab members enjoyed the lab's traditional summer barbeque! This year we had beach volleyball, picanha, and no rain! 🏐🏖️🌅

Congrats to Michael Valic Gang Zheng Lab for a flawless PhD defense, who devoted 11 years (MS-RA-PhD) Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Research in making Porphysome into 1st-in-human a reality, and along the way, trained himself into a true nanomedicine translation expert. Thanks Wenbin Lin as external!
