Congratulations to FSTG committee member, Dr Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy
– McBain Medal
The McBain Medal is an early-career award offered jointly by the two sponsoring groups; SCI’s Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group and the RSC’s Colloid and Interface Science Group. The 2012 McBain Lecture will be given by Dr Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy of the University of Reading and will focus on self-assembled materials for biomedical applications. Dr Khutoryanskiy has rapidly gained an international reputation for his imaginative use of polymer and formulation science in the development of novel materials for biomedical applications. His research interests include water-soluble polymers and hydrogels, mucoadhesive polymeric materials, stimuli-responsive polymers and polymeric nanomaterials for applications in drug and gene delivery and coatings. The meeting should appeal to scientists and technologists interested in novel materials and coatings more generally, since many of the technical principles, problems and challenges are transcendental, in spite of the unique challenges that biomedicine imposes.
McBain Medal Symposium – Self-Assembled Materials for Biomedical Applications, London, January 10th 2013
A one-day meeting concerned with the application of colloid, polymer and interface science.
