Molecular Methods and Nanomaterials Laboratory
This laboratory investigates molecular and cellular processes through experimental measurement and computational modelling. We develop aptamer-based detection, fluorescence assays and methods for studying extracellular vesicles and engineered nanocarriers. Microscopy and histology help us characterise how materials interact with biological systems, while transport and pharmacokinetic models connect measurements across scales. The lab also studies molecular regulation, exposure and material effects, bringing experimental data together with predictive toxicology and nanoinformatics. This combination supports the design and assessment of functional materials with attention to their intended properties and wider biological interactions.
