Stimuli-Responsive Microgel-Based Materials and Their Assembly for Controlled Drug Delivery and Sensing Systems
DownloadFall 2020
Conventional drug delivery methods result in a burst of drug concentration in plasma, followed by a decline, which leads to issues with maintaining drug concentrations in the therapeutic range. Furthermore, this high plasma concentration can lead to undesirable (and dangerous) side effects that...

Interfacing Silicon-Based Quantum Dots with Proteins for Biological and Sensing Applications
DownloadFall 2020
This dissertation presents the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrids from silicon-based quantum dots (SiQDs) and enzymes and the use of SiQDs and green fluorescent protein as ratiometric photoluminescent sensors for nerve agents. Chapter 2 discusses the preparation of water-soluble...

Investigation of banglenes as neurotrophic agents and development of a new fluorescent protein- based FRET pair
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis describes efforts towards understanding the neurotrophic activity of banglenes and the development of a new fluorescent protein-based FRET pair. Neurotrophic small molecule natural products are functional analogs of signaling proteins called neurotrophins, which cause a pro-growth,...
