UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROL OF NANOMATERIAL SYNTHESIS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 夏博士的研究兴趣包括纳米结构材料、生物材料界面、自组装、软物质、组织工程、神经工程、催化、能源和环境科学。他的团队发明了金纳米笼，其可调的光学特性使其成为光学成像、光热癌症治疗和药物输送等生物医学应用的极佳候选者。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Dr. Xia's research interests are in nanostructured materials, bio-material interface, self-assembly, soft matter, tissue engineering, neural engineering, catalysis, energy, and environmental science. His group invented gold nanocages whose tunable optical properties make them excellent candidates for biomedical applications such as optical imaging, photothermal cancer treatment, and drug delivery.
