We have just commissioned a new JEOL JEM-2100F Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) with a field emission electron source for analyses at the atomic/molecule level in materials science, nanotechnology and life science.
Take a look at our paper just published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A on a porous silicon based photocathode for water splitting. Journal of Materials Chemistry
We have just published a review in Nano Today on biomaterials, drug delivery and biosensor applications of silicon nanowires.
Dr. Masi Haghbin is a new research associate who is working on antibody loaded porous silicon nanoparticles.
Gayathri Rajeev is a new PhD student in our group whose research aims at developing biosensors for monitoring the healing trajectory of chronic wounds.
Adel Dalilottojari has just started his PhD in our group. He is working on biomaterials for endothelial progenitor cell therapy.
In the Voelcker lab, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between nanostructured materials and human cells and tissues, and their biomolecular products. To that effect, we are developing nanostructured materials and surface chemistries, with a focus on electrochemically etched meso- and macroporous materials. These systems are then optimised for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine and others.
