Roshan and colleagues have recently published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B their work employing surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) to graft thermo-responsive copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates from the surface of diatom biosilica...
Steven and colleagues have recently published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B their work demonstrating the capabilities of pSi microparticles (pSi MPs) for the controlled release of Infliximab to disease environments, such as chronic...
The Nanosafety Workshop, which was organized by the Mawson Institute and the CERAR, was held during the 27th and 28th of April at Adelaide (University of South Australia). The workshop attracted more than 68...
Taryn and colleagues work in Chemical Communications has been highlighted in the recent issue with a cover image. In their work, desorption ionisation on porous silicon mass spectrometry imaging (DIOS-MSI) was used to map...
Angela and colleagues have recently published in Chemical Research in Toxicology their work revealing a connection between DNA-nanoparticle (NP) binding and in vitro DNA damage induced by citrate- and branched polyethylenimine-coated silver nanoparticles (c-AgNPs and...
Morteza and colleagues have recently published in Nano Research their work on new non-viral vector by means of chitosan coated oligonucleotide-loaded porous silicon (pSi) nanoparticles (NPs) for therapeutic oligonucleotide delivery. The results suggest that...
Hashim and colleagues have recently published in Advanced Functional Materials a new method to fabricate size- and shape- controlled porous silicon (pSi) nanoparticles to be used as targeted anticancer drug delivery carriers. The method,...

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.
