    We fabricate gold nanostructures to fight cancer and various pathogens using the photothermal effect of “Nanogold”. Moreover, we use these metallic nanoparticles as “Nanoprobes” to understand their fate in complex biological compartments (cellular uptake, biodistribution, and caner targeting). Also, we fabricate polymeric nanoparticles to engineer smart drug delivery systems that can provide superior medications with higher potency and lower adverse effects.
