- Fri 18 April 2008 12:00 PMIGERT Nanomedicine Distinguished Lecture Smarticle Particles: Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications Dr. Cynthia BamdadFounder and CSO, Minerva BiotechnologiesSH 320Minerva was first to develop methods to coat nanoparticles with highly reproducible self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). SAM-coated nanoparticles are designed to instantly capture and present any biological molecule. In fact, more than one biomolecule can be immobilized on the same nanoparticle and the relative concentrations of the immobilized species are controlled. For example, a protein and its encoding DNA can be attached to the same nanoparticle, which enables ultra sensitive diagnostics and massively parallel proteomics. In another application, a nanoparticle bears therapeutic siRNA and a tumor-targeting antibody. A number of biomedical applications of Minerva's "Smarticle Particles" will be discussed, including: drug discovery, drug delivery and self-assembling nanostructures.
