Funded Activity Summary
Molecular-Scale Interaction of Nanomaterials with Biomembranes. This project aims to develop a holistic understanding of how nanoparticles, and nanomaterials in general, interact with cellular materials, via the cell membrane on a molecular level. To date, the precise mechanism by which nanomaterials, such as particles, colloids, and sheets, interact with cellular material is poorly understood. This project expects to generate new, fundamental knowledge in the field, and establish a platform for high-resolution, in situ, molecular-scale imaging of nanoscale events at the biomembrane. This will develop a fundamental understanding of the dynamics of nanomaterial-cell interactions, and provide benefit in the development of next-generation nanomaterial-based therapeutics and diagnostic technologies.Funded Activity Details
