研究领域

Bioanalytical Chemistry, Bionanotechnology

Our work involves improving the accuracy of nanomaterial toxicity assessments, and advancing the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of nanomaterials. Our areas of expertise include the physiochemical characterization of nanomaterials, the reproducible preparation of purified nanomaterial samples, and direct measurements of metal oxide and carbon nanomaterials inside mammalian cells and aquatic organisms. We are also interested in developing label-free methods to detect carbon nanomaterial contamination in workplace areas.
