?Dr. Akon Higuchi Akon Higuchi <akon.higuchi@>higuchi@ncu.edu.twAkon Higuchi is a Chair Professor in National Central University. He received his Ph.D. in Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1985. Higuchi was a Professor in Seikei University (Tokyo, Japan) from 1993 to 2007. He received Sofue Memorial Award from Society of Fiber Science, Japan, Seikei Academic Award from Seikei Alumni Association, Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), Fellow of Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (Taiwan), and Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (USA). Dr. Higuchi is an Editorial Board of Laboratory Investigation (Nature Springer, Impact Factor=4.3), Advisory Board of Journal of Materials Chemistry B (RSC, Impact Factor=4.8) and Editorial Board of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (Springer Nature, Impact factor=1.169). Dr. Higuchi served as a session chair or a session organizer at a number of International Conference [e.g., Termis-AM2017, Termis-EU2017, Termis-AP2016, Pacifichem 2015, IUMRS-ICA2014, ISOMRM2014, etc.]. Five articles published by Dr. Higuchi are selected as Highly Cited Paper in Web of Science. Dr. Higuchi published 6 high impact factor articles; 3 articles in Chemical Reviews (Impact Factor=52.6) and 3 articles in Progress in Polymer Science (Impact Factor=24.6) as first author and corresponding author since 2011. Dr. Higuchi’s research focuses on the design, preparation and evaluation of new biomaterials and membranes for purification, culture, and differentiation of stem cells in biomedical applications. He has developed a membrane filtration method for purification of stem cells from umbilical cord blood and fat tissues. He also developed cell culture biomaterials grafted with nanosegments for xeno-free culture of human pluripotent stem cells including human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells as well as hematopoietic stem cells and adipose-derived stem cells. c ................
