Chun-Xia Zhao

The keynote lecture "Sustainable Biotechnology platform for Mineral Recovery" will be given by Prof Chun-Xia Zhao, School of Chemical Engineering, University of Adelaide, Australia.

Professor Chun-Xia Zhao is a Professor and an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Leadership Fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering at University of Adelaide (UoA), the Deputy Director of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence, and before she joined UoA, she was a group leader, ARC Future fellow, UQ Amplify Fellow at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, The University of Queensland. 

She leads a research group focusing on bioinspired engineering across diverse fields ranging from biomedical innovations to resource recovery, including the development of biomimetic materials for cancer nanomedicine and drug delivery (small molecule drugs, proteins and RNAs), as well as biomimetic devices (e.g., tumour-on-a-chip, organ-on-a-chip platforms) for drug development. She has built extensive collaborations with scientists at top universities such as Harvard University, Brown University, etc.  and she serves as the Editors, Editorial Board member for several journals.
