TETY Colloquia

Friday, July 14, 2017

Speaker: Prof. Georgios Sotiriou
Affiliation: Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden

Title: Flame Nanomaterial and Device Engineering for Biomedicine

Location: Computer Science Department, room A115 (ground floor)

Time: 16:15 (sharp)
Language: English
Abstract:
Nanoscale materials show great potential in the biomedical field as they can serve as superior bioimaging contrast agents, diagnostic and therapeutic tools, while a key element for the successful implementation of nanoscale materials in clinical applications is multi-functionality. However, the two main bottlenecks for the successful commercialization of such nanotechnologies, that are often neglected in studies, are scalability and reproducibility. Here, I will showcase a few recent examples of how flame nanoparticle synthesis, a nanomanufacture process famous for its scalability and reproducibility, may be employed for the production of sophisticated nanoscale materials to tackle important medical problems. A specific focus will be placed on the control of the physicochemical properties and functionality of flame-made nanostructures from simple oxides to multi-component core-shell nano-architectures and how their surface properties may be tuned for increased biocompatibility and superior performance. Finally, the incorporation of such functional nanomaterials in multi-scale structures will be highlighted, for example by the direct deposition of freshlyformed flame-made nanoparticles on selected substrates towards the rapid fabrication of reliable devices such as magnetic actuators and biosensors.

Title: Impenetrable tumors and untargetable cancers: engineering nanocarrier surfaces to do the (apparently) impossible

Location: Computer Science Department, room A115 (ground floor)

Time: 14:15 (sharp)
Language: English
Abstract:

We use model lipid membranes in the form of vesicles to study pH-controlled lateral lipid phase separation with the goal to direct the vesicles' surface topography and functionality, the vesicles' membrane permeability and fusogenicity. Integration of these processes on nanometer-sized lipid vesicles used as drug delivery carriers may precisely control their interactions with diseased cells increasing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicities.
Two examples of improving the therapeutic potential in liposomal chemotherapy and alpha-particle radiotherapy will be presented: first, the description and demonstration of the efficacy of vesicles with 'sticky patches'. These vesicles introduce new binding geometries with isolated cell surface receptors, and enable selective targeting and effective killing of cancer cells currently reported as untargetable by today's reported nanoparticles; and second, the description of highly diffusing forms of lethal agents delivered and released within the tumor interstitium, and the demonstration of using this approach to effectively address the limited drug penetration and heterogeneous drug distributions in solid tumors that currently limit the therapeutic efficacy of these agents.
