Joint School of Nanomedicine and Nanoengineering, Greensboro, NC, USA
Biography
Prof. Sandros research concentration is focused on the integration of inorganic nanomaterials and polymers with biology. She has previously designed a reagentless protein-based nanobiosensor for selective small molecules detection using conformational dependent interactions between a redox active metal complex ion RuII and the surface of a CdSe nanoparticle. Prof Sandros was able to enhance the biointerface properties of InGaP@ZnS quantum dots by encapsulating them in chitosan. Along with her collaborators, she has developed a robust and stable multifunctional siRNA delivery system and amplified Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRi) signals using nanoparticles.
