School of Dentistry seminar series: The highs and lows of an NHMRC Fellow - My experience in top research labs in the U.S. - Dr Chun Xu

Nanomaterials possess unique physical, chemical and biological properties due to the nanosize effects and offer various advantages for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering.

In this presentation, I will introduce my research about using nanoscale materials and advantageous techniques to address important medical and dental problems. I will also share my recent experiences working in some of the world’s top labs at UCAL and Stanford University during my NHMRC Fellowship.
