Prof. Changsheng Liu is a Cheung Kong Scholar Professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST). He is the director of the Ministry of Education's Engineering Research Center for Biomedical Materials. Prof. Liu received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from ECUST in 1996. He was a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. His research interest focuses on the interactions between biomaterials and microenvironments and designing bioactive materials for in situ tissue regeneration. He has devoted to developing various biomaterials including CPC formulations with the superior properties and building the relationship between CPC-based biomaterials and clinic applications for over 20 years. Six CPC-based products and one bioengineered growth factor developed by Prof. Liu have been sold on the market and used in more than 500 hospitals in China. He has more than 200 refereed journal publications, 60patents and invention disclosures, and 3 edited books to his name. His excellent innovations and significant contributions have earned him numerous honors and awards, including second prize at the National Award for Science and Technology Progress in 2003, the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Scientific and Technological Innovation Award of 2007, International Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering in 2012, and the second-prize of the National Award for Natural Sciences in 2014. He is also an editor for several journals, including Biomaterials Research, Biomatter, the Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, the Journal of Materiomics, and the Journal of Inorganic Materials.
