TheStrategyforCommercializationofNanotechnology-DrivenProductsInKorea

AbstractAstheresultoftheeffortsputforthbyGyeongnamprovince,Miryangcityandthe Society related to the nanotechnology in Korea. Miryang city wasdesignated as the host ofthe nano industrial complex by ourgovernment. Since the designation, interest in nanotechnology has beensteadily increasing across many fields including education, business andresearch and development. Miryang city willfocus on the developmentofproducts usingnanoimprint lithography (NIL) which canmanufacturenanostructureeasily.Inviewofsimplicity,processtimeandthroughput,NILisagoodtechnologycomparedwithconventionaltechnology.Especially,roll toroll (RTR) -NILwill be the most promising technology that can replaceconventional technology. And also, RTR- NIL is a green, low-cost technologywithoutlimitationforimplementingnanostructures.InRTR-NIL,itisimportanttomanufacture themoldpreciselyandmaintainuniformlyprocesscondition.To this, process conditions have to include precision tension control,optimization of process parameters, etc. In this talk, I'll explain the plan todevelopRTR-NILtechnologyandcommercializenanoproductsbyRTR-NIL.

BiographyMyung Y. Jeongwas born in Gyungnam, South Korea, in February 1960. Heearned Ph. D. degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science andTechnology,SouthKoreain2000.From2013to2014,hehasbeenatHarvardUniversity as a visiting professor. He has been working for 35 years in theresearchfieldof ITconvergencetechnologybasedonnanodevicefabricationsince he started his research in 1983 at the Electronics andTelecommunicationsResearchInstitute(ETRI),SouthKorea.Since2003,hehasbeen a Professor in the Collage of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, PusanNationalUniversity,SouthKorea.Hehaspublishedover150SCIpublicationsand holds over 60 patents related to optical devices and accomplished 15patents on technology transfer to the industry.Meanwhile, he accomplishedmany governmental projects as a project leader including National ResearchLab,WorldClassUniversity Project,andothers.Hehas introduced thenovelfabricationmethodofopticaldevice,optomechatroniccomponents,photoniccrystal using nano imprint technique.

KEYNOTESPEECHII

TargetedContrastAgentsforBioimagingandNanomedicine

AbstractTwo fundamental and unsolved problems facing bioimaging andnanomedicine are nonspecific uptake of intravenously administereddiagnostic and/or therapeutic agents by normal tissues and organs, andincompleteeliminationofunboundtargetedagentsfromthebody.Tosolvetheseproblems,wehave synthesized a series of indocyaninenear-infrared(NIR) fluorophores that varied systematically in net charge, conformationalshape, hydrophilicity/lipophilicity, and charge distribution. Using 3Dmolecularmodelingandoptical fluorescence imaging,wehavedefined therelationship among the key independent variables that dictatebiodistributionandtissue-specifictargetingsuchaslungandsentinel lymphnodes (Nat Biotechnol. 2010), human prostate cancers (Nat Nanotechnol.2010), and human melanomas (Nat Biotechnol. 2013). Recently, we havedeveloped new pharmacophore design strategy “structure-inherenttargeting,” where tissue- and/or organ-specific targeting is engineereddirectly intothenon-resonantstructureofaNIRfluorophore, thuscreatingthe most compact possible optical contrast agent for bioimaging andnanomedicine(AngewChem.2015,NatMed.2015).Thebiodistributionandtargeting of these compounds vary with dependence on their uniquephysicochemicaldescriptorsandcellularreceptors,whichpermit1)selectivebinding to the target tissue/organ,2)visualizationof the target specificallyandselectively,and3)providecuringoptionssuchas image-guidedsurgeryor photo dynamic therapy. Our study solves two fundamental problemsassociatedwith fluorescence image-guidedsurgeryand lays the foundationforadditionaltargetedagentswithoptimalopticalandinvivoperformance.

ItisbecomingclearthatStructuralMaintenanceofChromosomes(SMC)complexes,suchascondensinand cohesin, are involved in the three-dimensional genomeorganization, yet theexact rolesof thesecomplexesinthefunctionalorganizationremainunclear.WehaveemployedtheChIA-PETapproachtocomprehensivelyidentifygenome-wideassociationsmediatedbycondensinandcohesininfissionyeast.We find that although cohesin and condensin often bind to the same loci, they direct differentassociationnetworksandgeneratesmallandlargerchromatindomains,respectively.Cohesinmediateslocalassociationsbetweenlocipositionedwithin100kb;condensincandrivelonger-rangeassociations.Moreover, condensin, but not cohesin, connects cell cycle-regulated genes bound by mitotictranscriptionfactors.Thisstudydescribesthedifferentfunctionsofcondensinandcohesiningenomeorganizationandhowspecifictranscriptionfactorsfunction incondensin loading,cellcycle-dependentgenome organization, and mitotic chromosome organization to support faithful chromosomesegregation.

MitochondrialSTAT3isnegativelyregulatedbySOCS3andupregulatedafterspinalcordinjury.

KeunWooPark,Burke-CornellMedicalResearchInstitute,whiteplains,NewYork

Abstract

Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) expression is induced by the Janus kinase (JAK)-signaltransducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.SOCS3then acts as a feedbackinhibitorof JAK-STAT signaling.Previous studieshave shown that knockingdownSOCS3in spinal cordneuronswithLentiviraldeliveryofSOCS3-targetingshRNA(shSOCS3)increasedspinalcordinjury(SCI)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 (P-STAT3 Tyr), which in part contributed to decreasedneuronal death and demyelination as well as enhanced dendritic regeneration and protection ofneuronalmorphologyafterSCI.However,theroleofserinephosphorylationofSTAT3(P-STAT3Ser)isinlarge part undetermined. Our purposes of this study were to evaluate the expression patterns of P-


STAT3 Ser and to explore the possible role ofSOCS3in the regulation of P-STAT3 Ser expression.Immunoblot analyses demonstrated that Oncostatin M (OSM), a member of the interleukin-6 (IL-6)cytokine family, inducedboth P-STAT3 Tyr andP-STAT3 Ser in SH-SY5Y cells. Subcellular fractionationfurther revealed that P-STAT3 Ser was localized inmitochondria. Overexpression ofSOCS3with aLentivirus-mediated approach in SH-SY5Y cells inhibited OSM-induced P-STAT3 Ser in both cytosolandmitochondriafractions. In contrast, OSM-induced P-STAT3 Ser was further upregulated in bothcytosolandmitochondriawhenSOCS3wasknockeddownbyLentivirus-deliveredshSOCS3.UsingaratT8spinalcordcomplete transectionmodel,we foundthatSCI inducedupregulationofP-STAT3Ser inthemitochondriaofmacrophages/microglia and neurons both rostral and caudal to the injury site ofspinal cord. Collectively, these results suggest thatSOCS3regulation of STAT3 signaling plays criticalrolesinstressconditions.

Abstract

Currentparadigmsfortestingdrugefficacyandtoxicityaretime-consuming,ineffectiveandexpensive.One of the main reasons is that the animal models used in drug screening are often ineffective atpredictinghumanresponsestocandidatedrugs.There isan increasingdemandfordeveloping invitro3D organ models that better predict the physiological responses of the human body to novelpharmaceutical compounds, particularly with respect to tissue/organ toxicity. These in vitro models,featuring highly biomimetic compositions, architectures, and functions, are expected to replace theconventionalplanar,staticcellculturesandbridgethegapbetweenthecurrentlyusedpreclinicalanimalmodelsandthehumanbody.Inaddition,developmentofanefficientsensingplatformcapableofinsitucontinualmonitoringofbiomarkersisneededtoassessthefunctionalityoftheinvitro3Dorganmodelsandtoevaluatetheirbiologicalresponsestowardspharmaceuticalcompoundsorchemicalspeciesoverextendedperiodsoftime.Inthistalk,Iwill introduce3Dbioprintingmethodswhichareemergingasapowerfultechniqueforthedevelopmentofhighlyorganizedandcomplex3Dorganmodels.ThenIwillintroduce the first fully integrated organ-on-a-chip platform in conjunction with microfluidicelectrochemicalbiosensorunits,whichoperates inacontinualandautomatedmanner.The label-freemicrofluidic electrochemical biosensor has a unique built-in on-chip regeneration capability forcontinual measurement of cell-secreted soluble biomarkers from an organoid culture in a fullyautomated manner without attenuating the sensor sensitivity.

AbstractRecent neural sensing and imaging technologies have allowed the exploration of the brain at themolecular-cell-biologicallevelfortheunderstandingofthemechanismsofmentationandbraindiseases.Group cellular events are associatedwith the global brain function and the local neuro-physiologicalchanges. Despite various advances, understanding and interfacingmolecular and cellular eventswithneuralnetwork functions is stillquitechallenging.Toaddress thechallenge, recordingand imagingofneural activity inmultiple spatial and temporal scales are critically important. The integrative sensingand functional imaging can lead to radical advances in understanding brain function and enablequantitative mathematical modeling and analysis of neural systems. This presentation introducesneurochemical and electrophysiological sensing in molecular and cellular levels of dynamic neuralactivity using nanotechnology. This presentation also discusses fast neural imaging technology usingelectrical impedance tomography to illustrate functional neuronal networks in themesoscale level ofcellpopulations,especiallyindeepbrainstructures.Theprincipleofthisimagingtechnologyisbasedontheelectricalimpedancechangebymoleculartransportthroughionchannelsonnervemembranes.
