About the Presenter:

Dr. Kenry joined the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy as an assistant professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences in June 2023. Prior to that, he conducted his postdoctoral work at Harvard University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the University of British Columbia and the National University of Singapore. He received his doctorate in biomedical engineering from the National University of Singapore and his bachelor’s degree in engineering  with First Class Honors from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

The Kenry Lab at the University of Arizona seeks to improve patient outcome and health by addressing various unmet needs in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Leveraging members’ expertise in nanomaterials, microfluidics, bioimaging, immunotherapy, and machine learning, the Kenry Lab adopts bioinspired and data-driven approaches to build novel micro/nanoscale platform tools and models to enable more personalized, targeted, and safer detection and treatment of cancer.
