Functionalization of graphene and antibacterial properties

Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology 

 

 

  • Our research group focused on the synthesis and development of various well-designed nanomaterials with specific size, shape and applications.
  • Our research group focus on the following applications of the prepared nanomaterials:
  1. Targeted drug and gene delivery for cancer therapy especially, carbon nanomaterials (CNTs, graphene, carbon nanodots) and other lipid nanoparticles.
  2. Brain targeted drug delivery through nasal administration of soft nanoparticles for neurodegenerative diseases.
  3. The development of adequate scaffolds based on carbon nanomaterials for the tissue engineering.
  4. Nano-antibiotcs for resistant bacteria.
