L. Andrew Lyon is a Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. After his PhD in Physical Chemistry from Northwestern University he joined Penn State University as a postdoctoral research associate before pursuing his independent academic career at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Professor Lyon has authored more than 100 articles, contributed to nine books and holds seven patents. His research interests center around the development and implementation of new materials, particularly hydrogel nanoparticles, for applications in bioanalysis and regenerative medicine. Michael J. Serpe is Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta, Canada. He completed his PhD in Analytical Chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology and then held positions as postdoctoral fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia, at World Precision Instruments, Inc., and at Duke University, USA. Professor Serpe has published more than 30 peer-reviewed articles and has delivered numerous invited lectures globally. His group is interested in understanding the fundamental properties of soft, responsive, functional, polymeric materials for a myriad of applications.
