Nanoassemblies prepared from functional nanoparticles have been gaining considerable attention as adsorbents , functional food and drug delivery carriers due to their ability to offer structural assembly / disassembly in response to programmed stimulation . My research focuses on developing intelligent magnetic micro- / nanosystems for food and biomedical applications , which aims to provide
Assembly / disassembly behavior of functional nanoparticles

solutions to surpass the various biological barriers in the human body to ensure the targeted or sustained delivery of payloads . Several biological barriers that I am currently investigating include the gastrointestinal tract ( for functional food ) and tumor microenvironment ( for drug delivery ). My research scope has recently been extended to remove contaminants in edible oil |
Thermal decomposition setup for the preparation of magnetic attractable iron oxide nanoparticles |
and fat food systems utilizing the magnetic-controllable nanoassemblies as adsorbents . The projects are performed under multidisciplinary collaborations between scientists of different backgrounds from local and international universities .
