Stealth particles are particles, which are fabricated nano-sized and coated with surfactants and phosolipids with the relevant functionality to allow them to attach to specific cells and yet fool the immune response that they are resident in.
The main focus of this research group is redox enzymes; they discover, purify, characterise and engineer these both to understand biological function and to exploit their unique catalytic properties. E:
This lab has a portfolio of projects and expertise in the interaction of biomolecules and cells (for the latter, an emphasis on microorganisms) with nanostructured surfaces.
The group is involved in micro and nanotechnology research, specifically in the development of responsive biomaterials in form of hydrogels and nano-carriers.
