Nanoparticles in Biology and Materials: Engineering the Interface through Synthesis
Category

Abstract
Monolayer-protected nanoparticles provide versatile tools for
nanotechnology. In our research, we use these nanoparticles as
building blocks for the creation of functional magnetic and
electronic nanocomposite materials. Simultaneously, we are using
these particles as scaffolds for biomolecular recognition. These
materials exploit the size (similar to that of proteins) and surface
tunability of nanoparticles for applications including
biomacromolecule recognition and delivery.
