Nanosystems for Food, Drug and Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Nanotechnology allows for the unique design and functionalization of materials and devices at the nanometer scale for a variety of applications. Our laboratory has fabricated nanosystems for drug screening, in vitro toxicology, sample preparation, diagnostic, and food pathogen detection. The miniaturized devices allow for the rapid and automated processing of drug candidates, clinical and food samples in tiny volumes, greatly facilitating drug testing, genotyping assays, infectious disease detection, cancer diagnosis, point-of-care monitoring, and food testing.
