Description Nanomedicine, at the intersection of nanotechnology and medicine, holds immense promise in revolutionizing healthcare by offering precise diagnosis and personalized treatment, particularly in conditions like cancer. In our research group, we specialize in theranostic nanoparticles, versatile agents capable of both therapeutic and diagnostic functions. We tailor the surface of these nanoparticles to specific objectives, such as targeted drug delivery or imaging. Additionally, we customize the loading of particles, including FRET dyes, drugs, or contrast agents, to utilize different imaging modalities or deliver personalized treatments. If you're passionate about new developments in nanomedicine across various fields, we invite you to join us!
