NGUYEN3	SYNTHESIS OF VARIANT SHAPE IONOXIDE NANOPARTICLES
Type	Experimental
#students	1
Orientation	There is very little literature on the shape variant iron oxide nanoparticles, how the shape effect the cellular up take is still largely unknown. Therefore, it is a challenge to synthesise iron oxide nanoparticles with different shapes, as magnetite is approved to use for clinical purposes.
How	Nanoparticles will be synthesised using a chemical methods well established in Prof Thanh’s lab
What	Student will learn to synthesise ion oxide nanoparticles and characatersise them with TEM, XRD, SQUID, and elemetal analysis and biofunctionalise them with biomolecules and study the effect for cellular uptake conventionally or using magneto-transfection devices
Special Knowlegde	Chemistry A level at least, open minded and willing to learn
Supervisor	Prof Nguyen TK Thanh
