Welcome!

The NanoThermal Bioengineering Laboratory (NT-BEL) focuses on fundamental understanding of the bio-nano interface and translating this to biomedical applications. Current efforts focus on the thermo-plasmonic fundamentals and its effects at the interface between biological systems and nanomaterials. Specifically, experimental techniques and methods will be developed to understand the effects of nanoparticle plasmonic heating on proteins and other biomolecules immediately surrounding the nanoparticle. This leads to new enabling tools for fundamental research, and to applications in both diagnostic and therapeutic areas.

We are always inviting the most motivated individuals to join our laboratory and the growth and success of our team members are our highest priority. With the interdisciplinary nature of the work, we seek and recruit talented candidates with different backgrounds (engineering, biology, chemistry etc).
