note = "Funding Information: Dr. Dipanjan Pan is Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Division of Cardiology, Washington University in St. Louis with over 50 original publications, numerous abstracts, and patents in the area of materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology. He received his Ph.D. in Synthetic Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in 2002 and pursued a post-doctoral career in polymer science and technology at the Department of Chemistry, Washington University in St. Louis. In 2005, he joined General Electric and worked as a part of the global research team toward the development of their biosciences initiatives. Dr. Pan joined the WU faculty in 2007. Subsequently, he co-invented several nanoparticle platforms for molecular imaging application with CT, MRI, optical, and photoacoustic imaging. His research is broadly aimed at the understanding and developing novel lipid-based and polymeric nanoparticle platforms for molecular imaging, drug delivery, and non-viral gene delivery applications with a focus on structure, function, and engineering processes. His multidisciplinary approaches encompass a variety of chemical, polymeric, molecular biological, and analytical methods to address issues related to cardiovascular and cancer diseases. His research is funded externally by National Institute of Health (NIH), American Heart Association (AHA), Missouri Life Sciences etc. He is presently a principal investigator in two AHA funded projects and a co-PI in a NIH research grant. He is a research member of the Siteman Cancer Center and presently serves as the editorial board member of the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomaterials (OMICS) and World Journal of Radiology (Baishideng Publishing). Funding Information: The financial support from the AHA 0835426N , 11IRG5690011 , NIH under the Grants NS059302 , CA119342 , HL073646 , CA1547371 , NS073457 and the NCI under the Grant N01CO37007 is greatly appreciated.
