Our distinguished speaker, Dr. Triantafyllos Stylianopoulos, -Associate Professor and Head of Cancer Biophysics Lab, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Cyprus – will delve into the intricacies of cancer treatment and the novel bioengineering strategies that enhance cancer therapy.
Dr. Triantafyllos Stylianopoulos, brings a wealth of expertise to the discussion and address the following questions:
• What are the barriers to drug delivery to solid tumors and what are the strategies for overcoming them.
• How tumor reprogramming with mechanotherapeutics leads to complete cure and immunological memory.
• How the use of ultrasound imaging methods predicts tumor response to therapy and results from early clinical trials.
The keynote speaker:
– He is the first researcher in Cyprus and among the few in Europe to secure all three highly competitive ERC grants: Starting, Consolidator, and Advanced Grant.
– Over the past decade, he has secured over €10 million in research funding from esteemed entities such as the European Commission and the European Research Council.
– He has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Y.C. Fung Early Career Award by the Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Most Cited Paper Award (2014), the Best Paper Award (2019) by the USA Biomedical Engineering Society, and recently the UNESCO
– Equatorial Guinea International Award for Research in the Life Sciences (2024).
– His efforts towards research commercialization have resulted in the recent acquisition of three patents and a license agreement with Materia Therapeutics (NV, USA).
