Qianyun’s paper is accepted by Nano Select!

Congrats to Qianyun for getting a second paper published during her PhD! This paper investigates the effect of polystyrene nanoparticles on the structural and metabolomic behaviors of intestinal cells through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and is meaningful for understanding the influence of nanoplastics ingestion on human health. Read the paper here: Characterizing Nanoplastics-Induced Stress and […]

Our group’s review is published on Nanoscale!

Our group’s recent review by Xingda, Prof. Shyam Erramilli and Prof. Reinhard is published on Nanoscale! This review discusses recent progresses in plasmonic nanostructures as antimicrobial reagents through light-dependent, -independent and controlled delivery & release pathways against bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens. Check out the review here: Plasmonic Nano-Antimicrobials: Properties, Mechanisms and Applications in Microbe […]

Congrats, Dr. Zhang!

Contratulations to Qianyun for her successful defense! Wish you all the best in the following research and life!
