A new method to produce gold nanoparticles in cancer
cells

Dipanjan Pan, professor of chemical, biochemical, and
environmental engineering at UMBC, and collaborators published a
seminal study in Nature Communications that demonstrates for the
first time a method of biosynthesizing plasmonic gold nanoparticles
within cancer cells, without the need for conventional bench-top
lab methods. It has the potential to notably expand biomedical
applications.
