Biodistribution and quantitation of metal oxide nanoparticle at the subcellular level using confocal Raman microscopy

Vincenzo Calcagno

University of Leipzig

Vincenzo Calcagno studied chemistry at the University of Naples (Federico II). He received his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering/Biomaterials from the University of Naples in 2016, working at the Center for Advanced Biomaterials for Healthcare at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia-Naples. During the Ph.D. he worked on the synthesis of nano-capsules for drug delivery and diagnostic, exploiting the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition on nano-emulsions at liquid-liquid interfaces. He is currently working as post-doctoral researcher at the University of Leipzig. His work is focus on the use of Confocal Raman microscopy for nanotoxicology abd nanoparticles detection and quantification in cells and tissues.

Abstract

Introduction Health impact of nanomaterials is getting more relevance, since they are increasingly finding applications in many industrial and biomedical fields. To evaluate the toxicological response of NMs, and in particular... [ view full abstract ]
