FD175: Physical Chemistry of Functionalised Biomedical Nanoparticles – Abstract deadline 9 December 2013

27 Nov 2013

By Rowan Frame, Commissioning Editor.

The deadline for oral abstract submissions to Faraday Discussion 175 has been extended to the 9 December 2013.

Submit now!

Confirmed invited speakers at Faraday Discussion 175 include:

Themes at FD 175 will be:

Noble metal NPs: Novel synthesis of Au and Ag NPs, for example, and better understanding of surface chemistry and interactions between NPs and ligands
Quantum dots: Novel syntheses and novel biofunctionalisation to enhance quantum yield of quantum dots, as well as being a protective layer for biomedical applications
Magnetic NPs: Novel syntheses for enhanced magnetic properties and functionalisation for specific targets in vivo
Carbon nanotube & graphite/graphene and other NPs: There is very limited literature on biomedical applications of this type of material. Therefore, biofunctionalisation is a very important aspect of this research topic

The Scientific Committee for Faraday Discussion 175 look forward to seeing you there!
