Zoom recording
Bio:
Dr. Landry is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UC Berkeley as well as a faculty scientist in the Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging division at Berkeley Lab.
The Landry Lab’s work develops synthetic bio-mimetic nanocomposites to impart control over nanomaterial interactions with biological systems for two applications: 1) to exploit the intrinsic nanomaterial infrared fluorescence for molecular imaging, and 2) to exploit the highly tunable chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials for targeted delivery of biological cargoes.
