Research Interests My research group focuses on nanomedicine and nanophotonics. We design nanomaterials that can be activated with light (and other stimuli such as heat, pH etc.) and utilize them for bioimaging and therapies across many disease models including cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and infection. Current projects in my group include (1) imaging immunomarkers and response to immunotherapies (2) metabolic imaging with Raman spectroscopy for high throughput drug screening (3) examine how the mechanomolecular properties of nanomaterials impact their behavior in vitro and in vivo (4) combinatorial photothermal immunotherapies to induce antitumor immunity. (5) point-of-care biodiagnostics for rapid biomarker detection More information: https://faculty.sites.iastate.edu/rbardhan/
