Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence Focused on Therapy Response

2009 Annual CCNE-TR Symposium

Shan Wang, Ph.D.
Professor, Materials Science & Engineering
Stanford University

Dr. Wang currently serves as the director of the Stanford Center for Magnetic Nanotechnology and is a full professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering and jointly in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He is a Co-Leader of the Stanford-led Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence focused on Therapeutic Responses (CCNE-TR). He is also with the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials, and is affiliated with Stanford Bio-X Program. His current research interests lie in magnetic nanotechnologies and information storage in general and include magnetic biochips, magnetic nanoparticles, nano-patterning, spin electronic materials and sensors, magnetic inductive heads, as well as magnetic integrated inductors and transformers. He has published over 160 papers, and holds 21 patents (issued and pending) on these subjects. Dr. Wang contributed one book and two book chapters on magnetic biochip, information storage, and embedded inductors, respectively, and gave more than 55 invited presentations in major scientific conferences and meetings. Dr. Wang was an inaugural Frederick Terman Faculty Fellow at Stanford University (94-97), an IEEE Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecturer (2001-2002), and was elected an IEEE Fellow (2009). He also received the Obducat Prize for 2007-8, a National Academies Keck Futures Initiative Award (2006), an IBM Partnership Award in 1999, and was selected to the CUSPEA program organized by Nobel Laureate T. D. Lee in 1986.
