Graduate Program

The BioNanoInteractions Thematic Graduate Programme was established in September 2008.

The broad research areas covered by the BioNanoInteractions Thematic Graduate Programme include:
1. Nanoparticle synthesis, labelling and functionalisation
2. Nanoparticle dispersion in biological fluids
3. Nanoparticle-protein interactions - nanoparticle corona
                                                                 - protein fibrillation
4. Nanoparticle-cell interactions - uptake kinetics & localisation (spatiotemporal aspects)
                                                           - uptake pathways / mechanisms
                                                           - signalling impacts (high through-put & screening approaches)
5. Ecotoxicology & Toxicology
6. Approaches to standardization and Quantitation
