Cycloruthenated Self-Assembly with Metabolic Inhibition to Efficiently Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Cancers
Friday, March 31, 2023
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
About
the
Event
Multidrug
resistance
(MDR)
represents
a
major
obstacle
to
the
treatment
of
cancer,
and
understanding
the
resistance
mechanisms
and
knowing
how
to
reverse
the
resistance
hold
the
promise
of
providing
insights
that
may
lead
to
improvements
in
the
use
of
currently
available
anticancer
drugs.
Dr.
Chen
will
discuss
the
development
of
a
simple,
versatile
and
efficacious
self-assembled
cyclometalated
complex,
RuZ,
to
overcome
MDR
cancer
cells.
About
the
Speaker
Zhe-Sheng
Chen,
Professor,
Director
of
the
Institute
for
Biotechnology
and
a
Special
Advisor
to
the
Provost
for
international
students
at
St.
John’s
University.
He
is
an
expert
in
the
field
of
multi-drug
resistance
(MDR)
following
chemotherapy,
with
the
goal
of
his
lab
being
the
development
of
more
effective
anticancer
drugs.
His
research
interests
range
from
basic
to
clinical
studies
on
drug
resistance
in
cancers.
