Biocompatibility and Cellular Overview (4 of 4): Role of Metal Nanoparticles in Biological Applications

This video, provided by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, is part four of a four-part lecture on the interactions between biological entities and products crafted on a nanoscale, with a focus on nanoparticles for drug delivery. In this part of the lecture, Terence Kuzma from Pennsylvania State University focuses on metal nanoparticles, nanoshells, and other uses of metals for bio-nano applications. Discussed are the uses of each metal material, their advantages and disadvantages, nanoparticles' role in preventing infections, and more.

The video runs 34:40 minutes in length. Also included are the presentation slides and an audio version of the lecture. Other parts of the lecture are available to view separately.
