Samuel I. Stupp

Samuel Stupp is the Board of Trustees Professor of Materials Science, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University, and Director of the Simpson Querrey Institute for BioNanotechnology. Stupp is a world leader in self-assembling biomaterials, particularly peptide amphiphiles (PAs) — molecules that spontaneously organize into nanofibers mimicking the extracellular matrix. His PA nanostructures have demonstrated remarkable ability to promote spinal cord regeneration, cardiac repair, and cancer drug delivery. His group showed that engineered PA nanofibers displaying instructive signals can guide tissue regeneration in mouse models of complete spinal cord injury, enabling paralyzed mice to walk again — one of the most dramatic demonstrations of regenerative nanomedicine. His laboratory bridges chemistry, materials science, and clinical medicine.

Samuel Stupp 是西北大学材料科学、化学、医学和生物医学工程的董事会信托教授，也是辛普森·奎里生物纳米技术研究所所长。 Stupp 是自组装生物材料领域的世界领军人物，尤其是肽两亲分子（PA）——自发组织成模拟细胞外基质的纳米纤维的分子。他的PA纳米结构显示出促进脊髓再生、心脏修复和癌症药物递送的显著能力。
