Funded Activity Summary

Advanced nanoparticles as biocompatible antioxidant agents with targeting functionality. This proposal addresses the core issue of designing nanoparticles capable of delivering antioxidant properties in a biological environment. The major benefits to Australia are two-fold: first will be in the improved health outcomes by providing materials that are better suited to targeted therapeutic delivery, thereby improving the quality of life and reducing the need for further surgical intervention; the second is in providing greater knowledge about nanoparticle interactions with the biological environment. This project will assist in the training of researchers in this field which will in turn provide economic growth through the development of Australian industries.
