Summary
Dr. Hanieh Montaseri obtained a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry/Nanochemistry at the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2019. From 2019 to 2022, she was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Laser Research Centre, the University of Johannesburg, and carried out research into targeted photodynamic therapy of cancer based on the use of Janus, silver/mesoporous silica core/shell, and plasmonic nanoparticles. Her research interests lie in the area of nanoparticle and quantum dot synthesis, FRET nanosensors, nanomedicines, drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy of cancer using nanoparticles.
