Research Contributions and InnovationsThe main Research Interest in my research grouhas been the development of novel biomedical nanoparticle platforms for drug delivery, imaging and therapy. Main topics include;1.Nanoiomolecular polymeric structures with encapsulated anticancer drugs and gold shells for dual cancer therapy that combines controlled and targeted drug delivery and infrared thermal ablation. 2.Nanoiomolecular multifunctional para-magnetic metal-hybrid nanoparticles for diagnostics and target NIR therapy. We are now developing novel Nanoparticle Bioconjugates for Combination Therapy of Lung, Pancreatic and Breast cancer. We are also developing novel multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biodiagnostics and novel therapeutic applications.3.Development of novel specific adsorbents for low molecular weight biomarkers isolation and identification. Technology could be used not only for cancer biomarkers but potentially for any other disease that produces extraneous biomolecules.
