报告摘要

Nanotoxicology and nanomedicine are both important issues related to the application of nanotechnology and nanomaterials. Understanding the biological properties of nanomaterials is the necessary for its further applications. In the past several years, we have studied the biocompatibility of carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles using in vitro and in vivo biological systems. Based on our experience on their biocompatibility, we propose potential biomedical applications of these functionalized nanomaterials. For example, having learned about the dynamic behavior of CNTs in mammalian cells, and their long terms effects in vivo in developing zebrafish, we build up the strategy to apply CNTs as the drug carriers for delivering anti-cancer drugs. Gold nanoparticles are also biocompatible nanomaterials, suitable for biomedical applications with limited cytotoxicity. We have applied gold nanoparticles in efficient chemotherapy applications focusing on overcoming multidrug resistance. In this seminar, we will share our experience on the nanotoxicology and nanomedicine studies of carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles
