The domain of nanomedicine is receiving more and more attention and possesses an enormous potential for a plethora of pathological conditions, including cancer. One of the main advantages ofnanomaterials is the ability to combine multiple modalities into a singleplatform, because of which the nanomaterials can simultaneously be used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and multiple therapeutic options can be used at the same time. The major bottlenecks impeding the full exploitationof nanomaterials for biomedical purposes is the need for a higher level of selectivity in terms of targeted delivery of the nanomaterials to the site of interest along with the development of novel, alternative therapeutic options.These topics are the main focus of the research group.
