Abstract
In this presentation, we will explore nano-bio interactions of engineered nanoparticles with cellular and sub-cellular spatiotemporal resolutions. Using quantitative analytical techniques, such as elemental analysis and super-resolution microscopy, we determined the delivery of administered nanoparticles to individual cell populations. Our research enables the engineering of safer and more effective inorganic and organic nanomedicines for diagnosis, therapy, and vaccination applications.
