Professor of Inorganic and Materials Chemistry Sanjay Mathur at the University of Cologne and his team will perform the synthesis of selected metal oxide nanostructures (TiO2, Fe2O3, Fe3O4). His research interest encompasses the chemical design of materials such as functional surfaces and nanostructures by gaseous phase and liquid phase synthesis. In the NANOMMUNE project they will perform the physical and chemical characterization nanoparticle size, crystallinity, composition, and surface charge. The major challenge in this context will be to identify compositions and size dispersions that enable the desired stability in biological environments and appropriate surface chemistry for internalization.

Sanjay Mathur is Work Package 2 leader which is responsible for EN synthesis and characterization. In the NANOMMUNE project the lab of Mathur will be mainly involved in the modification and characterization of metal oxide nanostructures (WP2).

Group members:

• Sanjay Mathur, PhD. (Professor)
