Si-Han Wu, Ph.D.

Professor at Taipei Medical University (TMU)

Si-Han Wu, Ph.D., is a Professor at Taipei Medical University (TMU) and a Visiting Scholar in Dr. Drew Weissman’s laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from National Taiwan University under the mentorship of Dr. Chung-Yuan Mou. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at Academia Sinica, Dr. Wu joined TMU in 2015, where he established a research program focused on translational nanomedicine. His expertise lies in the development of functionalized mesoporous silica and lipid-based platforms for targeted drug delivery. At the Weissman Lab, he collaborates with Dr. Jillian Melamed and Dr. Elena Atochina-Vasserman to elucidate nano-bio interactions and design next-generation RNA-based nanotherapeutics. Dr. Wu’s work aims to bridge the gap between chemical innovation and clinical application while fostering international academic collaborations in RNA technology and immunology.
