UNIVERSITY RESEARCH
Research Project (CNT-PVA drug Conjugate in anti-cancer drug delivery) – Present
Functionalize carbon nanotubes by dispersing and conjugating them with an anticancer drug and polymer. The
resulting samples’ activity has been tested against the human embryonic kidney cancer cells. This project was
supervised by professors from 3 different fields: Chemistry, Physics and Biology. The results were confirmed by
NIR, UV-Vis, Electron and fluorescence microscopy with ChemWave, LoggerPro and UV WInLab software at
UHCL and Rice University.
