How does nanoparticle design affect targeting selectivity: computer modeling

Dormidontova E.E., University of Connecticut, US

One of the areas of active development of modern nanomedicine is application of polymer tethered nanoparticles for drug/gene delivery and imaging. The optimal nanoparticle design for targeting one type of cell may be quite different [...]

Computer modeling of complex block copolymer micelles with metal-ligand self-assembly

Wang Z., Dormidontova E.E., University of Connecticut, US

For many applications of nanostructured materials it is essential to understand the principles controlling self-assembly, which is often a challenging task due to the heterogeneity of building blocks, (different chemical nature, size, shape, deformability, etc.) [...]
