Handbook of Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

Joao Conde is an independent researcher formally at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, and Queen Mary University, London, UK. His research interests include (i) biofunctionalization of multifunctional metal nanoparticles with DNA/RNA, siRNA, drugs, dendrimers, fluorescent dyes, polymers, proteins/peptides and antibodies for (ii) cancer therapy and (iii) diagnostics; (iv) in vitro and in vivo applications of new nanomaterials and (v) nanoparticles toxicity/biocompatibility studies. He has published 50 articles in peer-reviewed articles and sits on the Editor Board of two journals.
