Lloyd L. Tran is a scientist with 20 years of experience working in research and business development in biotechnology and nanotechnology.
Lloyd is an inventor focusing on nanomaterials and the applications of nanotechnology in medicine and renewable energy.
His research interests cover a wide spectrum of inter-related topics from nanomembrane for medical applications, nancomposites lithium air battery, to nanomaterials magnets for wireless charging system for electric vehicles.
Besides working in a laboratory as scientist/inventor, Lloyd is employed as the Director of the Clean Tech Institute.
He has been appointed as the director of California Institute of Nanotechnology since 2006.
He has served as the President of the International Association of Nanotechnology since 2002.
INVENTOR OF DISPOSABLE NANOMEMBRANE INFUSION PUMP:
 |
Lloyd was the sole inventor of a new method in therapeutic drug delivery system, having developed a novel nano-membrane as a disposable intravenous infusion device, to replace an electromechanical infusion pump. This patented technology is known as Membrane Infusion Controlled Release Optimization System (MICROS). The MICROS is a disposable infusion pump to administer anti-cancer drugs and pain control medications to patients in a hospital and home care settings. The MICROS was invented in 1985 and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1987.

Lloyd (Loi) Tran was the sole inventor and awarded 5 US patents for the invention of nanomembrane self regulated therapeutic drug delivery systems:
US Patent # 4715850
US Patent # 4822339
US Patent # 4842598,
US Patent # 4871352
US Patent # 5019723.
INVENTOR OF A NEW DRUG FOR TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASES
Lloyd was the sole inventor of a new concept in the treatment of neurological diseases, with his invention "Neuroptotection and neurogenesis by administering cyclo prolyl glycine". Lloyd Tran was awarded a US patent # 7232798 on June 19, 2007.
He also serves as the chairman of Neurobiogen, Inc., a company with a mission to develop treatment for Alzheimer 's Diseases.
Previously he worked as a research scientist at G.D Searle & Company, a subsidiary of the Monsanto Corporation.
Lloyd has a passion for the preservation of life and the environment, with a goal to make the world a better place with energy sustainability and equitability for all.
ADVOCATE FOR NANOSAFETY:
As the president of the International Association of Nanotechnology, Lloyd supports the regulations that require a new nanomaterial to undergo complete due process of toxicological studies, including human health safety, environmental and societal impact before the new chemical is approved for marketing in the USA and around the world.

DEVELOPER OF LITHIUM AIR BATTERY TECHNOLOGY:
In addition, as the director of the California Institute of Nanotechnology, and the Clean Tech Institute, Lloyd enjoys doing research on some new nanomaterials that are extremely light weight, durable, that exhibits high electrical density and high energy output. These nanocomposites are being used in the development of transparent organic thin film photovoltaic systems and the new nanobattery technology.
Lloyd is a developed of a nanomaterial lithium air battery which has a potential of having 10 times more energy density than lithium ion battery technologies.
DEVELOPER OF AN ADVANCED ELECTRIC CAR:
Lloyd serves as the chairman of AMPTRAN Motor Corporation with the goal to develop an advanced electric car that can drives up to 400 miles between charge and is affordable to mass population who wish to be a part of the green vehicle economy.
Lloyd Tran's Lithium Air Battery Technology will help to power an electric car reaching 400 miles between charge, thus, offering a clean, environmental friendly, healthy and high quality of life, while freeing ourselves from the bondage of fossil fuel establishment that dominates the world economy for the past century.

DEVELOPER OF WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM
In addition, Lloyd and his research team has developed a wireless fast charging system that is capable of charging an electric vehicle while it is stationery or it is moving. The CTI wireless charging system is safe, fast, and with expected efficiency exceeding 90%.
The wireless charging system will replace the conductive way (plug-in to a socket with a cable) in a similar manner that the wireless telephone communication has drastically replaced the copper wire network that was in existence over the past century.
The wireless charging system will allow an EV to be charged while it is at a parking location, during a short stop at a traffic lights or while it is moving.
Wireless charging system is a fundamental infrastructure being developed in collaboration with cities in California and across the United States, by EV City America, whom Lloyd serves as the Chairman of the Board.
With the passion to help young people, Lloyd serves as the Chairman of the Advanced Vehicle Technology Academy with a mission to inspire, to empower and to equip students to succeed in schools by utilizing their full potential for their benefits and for the benefits of society at large.
