Open call for papers – Targeted biomedical applications of nanomaterials

Submissions deadline on 7 June 2024

We are delighted to announce our latest open call for submissions to a themed collection on Targeted biomedical applications of nanomaterials to be published across Nanoscale, Nanoscale Advances, Journal of Materials Chemistry B and Materials Advances.


This collection is guest edited by Professor Dhiraj Bhatia (IIT Gandhinagar, India), Professor Mukesh Dhanka (IIT Gandhinagar, India), Dr Anjali Awasthi (University of Rajasthan, India), Professor Kamlendra Awasthi (Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, India) and Professor Kaushik Chatterjee (IISc Bangalore, India).

Nano-biomaterials, i.e., nanomaterials derived or inspired from biological molecules, have gained substantial influence in the recent times in terms of their fine tunability, scale-up potential, excellent interface and adaptation with biological systems. Multiple different approaches involving physical and computational modelling, chemical structure synthesis and characterization and biological modifications have been used to develop next generation bionanodevices that can interface with biological systems in a very focussed manner. Some of the recent devices have already made their way to clinical trials and many others are in different stages of the pipeline for translational applications.

This new collection in Nanoscale, JMC B, Nanoscale Advances and Materials Advances will focus on the design of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials for different applications and on interfacing nanomaterials with biological systems for translational studies. The scope of this collection loosely aligns with the 2023 International Conference on Nanomaterials in Biology (ICNB 2023), held at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar along with Soft Materials Research Society, from 19–22 November 2023.

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are novel materials that have the potential to address everyday needs from energy to health. Luminescent metal clusters can be used for effective and efficient energy harvesting and conversion technologies, while water-soluble luminescent metal clusters offer more efficient and personalized biomedical approaches. Furthermore, nanoclusters can be used as building units to form higher-dimensional cluster-assembled materials and can modulate the optoelectronic properties of desired device materials. To create a hierarchy of structures and applications, a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship at the atomic level is vital.

This special collection aims to look at new structures, photophysical, chemical and electrochemical catalysis reactions, and structure-property correlations within the themes of atomically precise metal nanoclusters. We wish to highlight research communicating novel structures, properties and phenomena, where applications for societal needs are appreciated as well as reports of new and exciting basic science. Prospective topics include but are not limited to:

  • New nanocluster structures
  • Transformation reactions
  • Luminescent materials
  • Light-matter interactions
  • Catalysis
  • Electrocatalysis
  • Bio-imaging and sensing
  • Drug delivery
