Dr. Chithrani did her PhD and postdoctoral studies at university fo Toronto, Canada. She was suppoeterd by many prestigeous scholarships such NSERC, OGS, OGGST, NSERC-PDF, and so forth throughtout her academic carrier. Currently, she is the director of the director of naoscince and technology development labotory at University of Victoria. Dr. Chithrani leverages nanotechnology to create innovations that advance the care of cancer patients. She is using gold nanoparticles as a radiation dose enhancer in cancer therapy. This work is featured on the cover of radiation research journal. This paper won the highest impact paper award in 2018 by COMP (Canadian association of Medical physicist). She has also developed three dimensional tumor models to optimize bio-nano interface in cancer therapy. This work is featured on the cover of Nano-Micro Letters journal. Dr. Chithrani is considered as one of the leaders in the field of nanotechnology and her publications have received over 7500 citations in few years. Dr. Chithrani has earned a strong international reputation for her innovative research through her many review articles, book chapters, and invited presentations. She is an associate editor of many nanotechnology based journals. Her passion is to develop smart nanomaterials to improve exiting cancer therapeutics. She believes that many side effects due to chemotherapy can be reduced by controlled delivery of anticancer drugs using smart nanomaterials.

After an experience in industrial R&D, Bernard Pelissier integrated CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) in 1994. His research activities are mainly focused on material science and surface characterisation. He first worked on massive crystalline growth and MOCVD deposition and then integrated LTM (Laboratoire des Technologies de la Microélectronique) in 2001 as XPS surface characterisation manager. His research interest focused on materials fundamentals studies for process development and contamination studies in clean room. He has been involved in several European collaborative projects in surface characterisation. Since 2005 he is interested in quasi insitu physico-chemical characterisation using vacuum transfer. He actually manages the IMPACT Equipex project “A 300mm quasi insitu advanced characterisation platform combining pARXPS, Raman and ellipsometry using vacuum transfer”, dedicated to studies at the frontier between process development studies and upfront research.
