报告内容摘要: Nanoparticles provide versatile scaffolds for multivalent recognition. Our research program focuses on the tailoring of nanoparticle surfaces for a variety of applications, coupling the atomic-level control provided by organic synthesis with the fundamental principles of supramolecular chemistry. We are using engineered nanoparticles for a range of biological applications, including drug/biomolecule delivery and sensing. This talk will focus on the interfacing of nanoparticles with biosystems, and will discuss our use of nanoparticles for sensing, delivery applications, and as therapeutics in their own right.
