The Team
The Nanotheranostics Lab bring together a multidisciplinary team from various educational backgrounds spanning from physical sciences (chemistry, physics, biochemistry) and engineering (materials science, computer, and biomedical). Currently the Lab comprises of one Senior Lecturer, two Lecturers and one Project Managers. We welcome an annual intake of biomedical engineering students on projects aimed at training them in cutting-edge nanomedicine research
