Nanotubes for Drug Delivery

Currently, there is an enormous interest in using nano-materials for a variety of applications. Our group has been focusing on making nanotubes with a template method from biocompatible materials (e.g., Chitosan, Gallen gel) for biomedical applications.  Nanotubes can be filled with chemicals or therapeuticals. Both outer and inner surfaces of the nanotube can be modified for desired chemical or biochemical functions. We are working on the preparation of capped nanotubes and their application in drug delivery.
