Engineering smarter treatments: Kazunori Kataoka to share insights on nanomedicine at WCN’27
How can medicine be engineered to reach the right place in the body, enter the right cells, and release its treatment at the right time?
At WCN’27, Kazunori Kataoka’s plenary, “Engineering Smart Nanomedicines to Navigate the Human Body,” will offer a glimpse into how advances in materials science and bioengineering could transform the way treatments are delivered.
For kidney care, where more precise drug delivery and emerging molecular therapies could improve effectiveness and limit unwanted effects, his plenary offers a glimpse of how advances from other fields could shape future treatment.

Explore the preliminary scientific program
Professor Kataoka has spent decades developing nanoscale carriers designed to transport drugs and genetic material through the body with greater precision. His research has explored how polymer micelles can be engineered to protect therapeutic molecules, navigate biological barriers, and release their contents in response to specific conditions inside tissues and cells.
