Liang Cheng, Ph.D., is currently an Associate Professor of Soochow University. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in December 2010 from Shanghai Jiaotong University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Shengrong Guo. After that, he joined College of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Soochow University as a staff from 2010 to now. From 2012, he joined Soochow University Biomedical Polymers Lab as a post-doctoral fellow. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles. His current research focus is to design “smart” biodegradable nano-scale systems for hepatocellular carcinoma targeted therapy.
