Nanomaterials from bench to bedside
Rosalind Franklin Lecture 2019 given by Professor Nguyễn Thị Kim Thanh
Michael Faraday synthesised gold nanoparticles back in 1856, so what is new? How could rust, which is magnetic, be used to diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer? How can different shapes of gold nanoparticle such as rods or stars help with killing bacteria on surfaces? Come to find out about Professor Nguyễn's interdisciplinary and innovative research on the design, synthesis, characterisation, and biofunctionalisation of plasmonic and magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical applications.
The prize lecture will be webcast live and the video recording of the event will be available shortly after the event.
