A range of her current projects include (i) the use of an external magnetic field to increase cell loading with magnetic nanoparticles for higher transfection efficacies, both in monolayer and 3-D cell culture models; (ii) manipulation of magnetic particles loaded MSCs & HSCs in 3-D culture to recreate a niche model system; (iii) a 3-D model for magnetic hyperthermia testing for cancer treatment; (iv) the knockdown of cell proliferation genes in cancer cells via gold nanoparticle mediated siNRA delivery; (v) the manipulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation via gold nanoparticle mediated inhibitors of crucial microRNAs.
