摘要：

Prof Thanh leads a very dynamic group conducting cutting edge interdisciplinary and innovative research on the design, and synthesis of magnetic and plasmonic nanomaterials for biomedical applications. A very strong feature of her research program is the development of new chemical methods and in collaboration with chemical engineers to produce the next generation high magnetic moment nanoparticles and advanced functional nanorods, and novel hybrid and multifunctional nanostructures. Detailed mechanistic studies of their formation by sophisticated and advanced analysis of the nanostructure allows tuning of the physical properties at the nanoscale; these can subsequently be exploited for diagnosis, treatment of various diseases and waster water treatment.
In this presentation, speaker will present the most recent results from their group on synthesis and biofunctionalisation of plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles for potential biomedical applications in diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
