"Oncologists still rely heavily on biological characterisation of tumours and a limited number of biomarkers which have demonstrated clinical utility. Routine cancer diagnostic tools may not be always sensitive enough and may only detect proteins at levels corresponding to an advanced stage of the disease. Recently, new genomic and proteomic molecular tools (molecular signatures) are being employe ...

The overall aim of this project is to synthesise and fully characterise new asymmetric functionalised nanowires and to investigate the capability of these fascinating materials to act as therapeutic transportation tools in nanomedicine. Given suitable choice of materials these “NanoMotors” can be displaced via catalytic decomposition of a fuel which leads to self electrophoretic propulsion towards ...
