In vivo evaluation of smart nanocarriers for cancer therapy

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite of development of arsenal of medications to treat cancer, the efficiency of marketed medications has been drastically compromised by their unwanted and uncomfortable side effects. To address this problem, we have developed new nano-sized drug transportation carriers to deliver the drugs to the tumor tissue and […]

Quantification of antibiotic residues and nitrites in meat using paper-based microfluidic devices

Meat contamination is a severe public health risk and therefore the development of highly precise, rapid, and reliable monitoring devices are necessary. Chemical hazards in meat such as the presence of nitrites and antibiotic residues have potentially carcinogenic, toxic, and/or allergenic effects when exceeding threshold limits set by governing health agencies. Conventional methods to monitor […]

Drug loaded co-polymeric nanoparticles as targeted delivery systems: Preparation and evaluation

The research project deals with the development of a targeted drug delivery system for cancer treatment. This drug delivery system features the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient carriers for cancer drugs. Current cancer therapy regularly involves the use of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells; however, chemotherapy affects normal healthy cells and patients may experience […]
