Important update on event submissions and edits 01-May-2024
We are currently transitioning to a new RSC events submission system and website.
• New event submissions may take up to one week to be published while we complete the transition.
• Editing existing events is temporarily unavailable. New edit links will be issued next week.
Your patience is appreciated while we finalise these improvements to the RSC events website.

Iron nanoparticles - ‘rustproof transition’ from diagnostics to therapeutics

26 April 2022 14:00-15:00, United Kingdom


Introduction
The recent COVID-19 pandemic highlighted RT PCR for rapid, easy detection and containment of the disease.
We exemplify herein our pioneering contributions, with Biochemistry, ӰԺ and Process ӰԺ to projects in diagnostics and therapeutics. We coupled our expertise in PCR with extensive research on multifarious applications of uncoated nanoparticles of iron oxide. A spectacular confluence of advances in these and in cognate fields have led to dramatic transformation in diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Multiple drug resistance remains a challenge; we aim to meet this in non-traditional/unconventional ways. Using clues gleaned from multifaceted molecules in nature, we achieved good results highlighting diverse applications of uncoated nanoparticles of iron oxide (replacing gold nanoparticles) in

1. boosting PCR in molecular diagnostics,
2. arresting amyloid polymerization
3. Inducing glial cell differentiation.

Our studies on hitherto overlooked iron oxide nanoparticles, will unravel, epitomize, and focus on their untapped potential in developing possible cures for “impossible” diseases
