Nanoparticles in Biology: Engineering the Interface for Delivery and Sensing

A key issue in the use of nanomaterials is controlling the interfacial
interactions of these complex systems. Our research program focuses on the
tailoring of interfaces by coupling the atomic-level control provided by
organic synthesis with the fundamental principles of supramolecular
chemistry. Using these tailored monolayers, we are developing particles for
biological applications in particular delivery and sensing. This talk will
focus on the interfacing of nanoparticles with biosystems, and will discuss
our use of nanoparticles for delivery applications as well as our use of
polymer-nanoparticle systems for sensing and identification of proteins,
bacteria, and cancer detection/identification of mammalian cells.*
