Description.

The purpose of my project is to develop a biosensor by using bimetallic gold and/or silver nanoparticles. To produce these nanoparticles, I will synthesize the gold and/or silver nanomaterials using a green/biodegradable starch-based method. In addition, by modifying the nanoparticles with functional biomolecules, I will be able to improve both sensitivity and selectivity by leveraging changes in the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on the nanoparticle surface as they interact with dopamine.

Description.

The research centers on the anticancer activity exhibited by monometallic Pt-NPs and bimetallic Ag/Pt-NPs and Au/Pt-NPs, which may represent a novel approach toward more selective and effective treatment options.

Description.

My research work focuses on evaluating the cytotoxicity of gold (AuNPs) and silver (AgNPs) nanoparticles in four different breast cancer cell subtypes, with the aim of analyzing how these nanoparticles affect cell viability. The work compares the responses among tumor subtypes, considering their biological differences, to identify potential therapeutic applications and the potential use of AuNPs and AgNPs as selective antitumor agents.
