Advanced Functional Nanomaterials for Biological Processes
Abstract
During the course of this project, we performed research in the area of tissue engineering/bone regeneration and cancer nanotechnology. The primary focus of the tissue engineering program was to understand the biophysiological activity of the complex multicomponent nanopolymeric scaffolds in goat models for the regeneration of bone tissue and BMP delivery. For the cancer research, we focused on synthesizing highly functional nanomaterials that have both magnetic and spectroscopic properties. They were linked with targeting agents and used for successful Radio-Frequency (RF) driven thermal ablation of cancer cells in vitro. We also designed a platform technology for the accurate delivery of cancer cells in circulation based on a photothermal/photoacoustic approach.
