TUTORIAL


Interfacing Quantum Dots, Metallic and Magnetic Nanoparticles with Biology


Sunday, November 25, 2007
1:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room 210 (Hynes)

The tutorial will provide an overview of the progress made in integrating inorganic nanoparticles (including luminescent QDs, metallic nanoparticles, and magnetic nanocrystals) with biology. It will also provide some of the basic aspects associated with the synthesis of these nanocrystals, as well as their physical and chemical characteristics.

Colloidal inorganic nanocrystals have several unique intrinsic photophysical properties that are not observed at the molecular level or shared by their bulk parent materials. These include size-dependent absorption and luminescence of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), plasmonic absorption and Raleigh scattering from metallic nanoparticles, and size- and composition-dependent magnetic coercivity (and contrast) for magnetic nanocrystals. This has not only generated intense interest in understanding their fundamental properties but has also led to an explosion in applications ranging from electronic devices to lasing. Interfacing these materials with biology has, in particular, experienced a tremendous expansion in the past decade.

The most relevant issues in biology can be summarized in three main areas:

1. The development of surface functionalization techniques to render the nanocrystals hydrophilic, and the design of simple and reproducible conjugation methods that provide stable, compact, and biologically active hybrids

2. The development of targeted applications in biology that utilize the above physical properties to gain new understanding of complex biological phenomena, including: the design of specific assays based on fluorescence, magnetic contrast, and plasmonic absorption; the development of assays based on fluorescence energy transfer where both QDs and gold NPs can be combined; the delivery of NP-biomolecule cargos inside cells and tracking of intracellular protein movement and interactions

3. Usage of the information collected from these biological studies as feedback for chemists and physicists to help improve material design (new combinations and new properties) and to develop better understanding of their physical properties

The tutorial will provide an overview of the unique advantages of each type of nanocrystals (metallic, magnetic, and luminescence QDs) for use in biology. Instructors will address aspects such as: interfacing of NPs with biology (assembly of NP-bioconjugates with proteins, peptides, and DNA) and sensor design based on immuno-fluorescence, fluorescence energy transfer, colorimetric assays, magnetic contrast, and magnetic sensing. Issues such as intracellular delivery of NP cargos inside live cells (non-invasively) and protein tracking will also be addressed.
