Dr Zhi-jun YANG
Assistant Professor
Expert in Pharmaceutical Formulation in Chinese Materia Medica and Drug Delivery System
Dr Yang graduated at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University in 1986, after that he became a tutor and then lecturer in China Pharmaceutical University. During the period, he learned basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and conducted research in Gifu Pharmaceutical University in Japan as a visiting scholar. In 1993, he studied in Chiba University in Japan as a doctoral candidate, and obtained the PhD. in Pharmaceutical Science in 1997. Subsequently, Dr YANG assumed the duty of a researcher in TaiYo Pharmaceutical Industry Ltd in Japan. In 2000, he carried out his postdoctoral research in University of British Columbia, Canada. One year later, he served in Northern Lipids Inc. in Canada as a scientist to develop Liposome Formulation. Over these years, Dr Yang has been engaged in development and research in pharmaceutics for chemical and natural active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). He has attained remarkable results both in publications and pharmacy market products. Currently Dr Yang is focusing on the most front line research of the pharmaceutics to develop the formulation of API by combining the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) and Drug Delivery System (DDS).
