Biomedical, Bio-Nano, Personalized Medicine – It’s All Nanomedicine to Us!

Professor Tom Davis is a Director of the Australian Centre for NanoMedicine (ACN) as well as Director of the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) at The University of New South Wales. He is a highly regarded polymer chemist with experience from industry and academia. In more recent years, Professor Davis' research has moved towards polymers for biotechnology applications with a key interest examining the application of polymer nanotechnologies for drug delivery. Professor Davis is a former ARC Federation Fellow and has published more than 300 refereed papers, 11 book chapters and one co-edited book, Handbook of Radical Polymerization. He has made significant contributions to a number of fields, including hydrogels and soft contact lenses, pulsed laser polymerization (determination of rate constants), copolymerization mechanism, ring-opening polymerization, catalytic chain transfer, mass spectrometry of polymers, living radical polymerization, architecture control, glycopolymers, micro-patterned surfaces, nanoparticles, photochromism and most recently bio-hybrid nanostructures. He has trained more than 25 Ph.D. students, many of whom are now in senior positions in industry and academia.
