Board of Directors
Professor Kenneth A. Dawson
University College Dublin，Ireland
Prof Kenneth A. Dawson is recognized as a leading thinker on the principles governing the interactions of nanoscale entities with living organisms, and implications for bionanoscience. He is founder of the modern conception of the ‘protein (biomolecular) corona’ responsible for the biological identity of engineered nanoparticles. Professor Dawson is the current and founding Director of the Centre for Bionano Interactions (CBNI). His work aims to obtain a fundamental mechanistic understanding of the interactions between nanostructures and living systems. He is the discoverer of the ‘biomolecular corona’ effect, and related ideas in situ at the interface between nanoscale objects and biological processing machinery, for which he was awarded the US National Academy Cozzarelli Prize. He has also been awarded Richardson Prize and Medal of Royal Society of Chemistry, Sloan, Dreyfus, IBM Foundation prizes, and has been distinguished visiting Professor by Chinese Academy, Brazilian Science Foundation, the Canon Foundation.
