Pau Segado is a Master student from the IQS School of Engineering in Barcelona and he will undertake his Master thesis in our team. He will work on the development of targeted gold nanoclusters...
Hashim and colleagues have recently published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces their work on gold decorated porous silicon (pSi) nanopillars for targeted hyperthermal treatment of bacterial infections. In order to address the issue...
Rinku and colleagues have recently published in Biosensors and Bioelectronics their work on porous silicon based optical biosensor for insulin detection in islet cell culture. A label-free porous silicon (pSi) based, optical biosensor, using both...
Adel and colleagues have recently published in Biomacromolecules their work on porous silicon-based cell microarrays. Porous silicon (pSi) substrates are a promising platform for cell expansion, since pore size and chemistry can be tuned...
Congratulations to Maria and Roey for their recent success on the last round of NHMRC and ARC major grant rounds. Dr Maria Alba-Martin has been awarded a NHMRC fellowship for the next three years...
Hashim and colleagues have recently published in RSC Advances their study on the antibacterial properties of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) generated by via metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus...
Xavier and colleagues have recently published in Sensors and Actuactors B: Chemical their work on the development of an impedimetric sensor towards the determination of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in water samples. The approach presented is...
Angela and colleagues have recently published in NanoImpact their work on quantitative multimodal analyses of silver nanoparticle-cell interactions demonstrating the benefits derived from the combination of different analytical methods. This study demonstrates the value...
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.
