Conjugate nanostructures and their potential applications

Distinguished Lecture SeriesPresentsRina TannenbaumGeorgia Institute of TechnologyAbstract:Abstract:
sciences and engineering. On the one hand, extensive research in the last two decades focused on the
chemical and physical properties of nanoscale metal and semiconductor materials and their potential
applications
recent insight into the genetic and molecular underpinnings of cellular bioprocesses, indicate an
immediate
resulting
of
component nanoscale structures that encompass the various functionalities necessary for the inâ€ï¿½situ,
simultaneous identification, mapping, targeting and destruction of cancer cells, which may afford the
opportunity of a paradigm shift in the area of cancer therapy. The lecture will be accessible to a broad
audienceBio:
Physical Chemistry from the Weizmann Institute of Science, and her D.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from
ETH
Research Society (MRS), and American Physical Society (APS). Dr. Tannenbaum is the author of a book,
several book chapters and over 50 refereed journal publications. She has received the Henry Gutwirth
Prize
