Professor '''Warren Chan''' is the Dean of the College of Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. Prior to that, he was a full professor at the [Institute of Biomedical Engineering](/source/Institute_of_Biomaterials_and_Biomedical_Engineering) and [Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research](/source/Terrence_Donnelly_Centre_for_Cellular_and_Biomolecular_Research) at the [University of Toronto](/source/University_of_Toronto). He received his B.S. and PhD degree, and post-doctoral training from the [University of Illinois](/source/University_of_Illinois_at_Urbana%E2%80%93Champaign), [Indiana University](/source/Indiana_University_Bloomington), and [University of California, San Diego](/source/University_of_California%2C_San_Diego).

His research lab is focused on the development of [nanoparticle](/source/nanoparticle)s for diagnosing and treating cancer and infectious diseases.<ref name="one">{{cite journal | last1=Perrault | first1=Steven D. | last2=Walkey | first2=Carl | last3=Jennings | first3=Travis | last4=Fischer | first4=Hans C. | last5=Chan | first5=Warren C.
