Amy Chyao Nanoparticle Cancer Therapy

Amy Chyao and the Nanoparticle

What did Amy Chyao discover? ,[object Object],Chyao worked in the laboratory with Dr. Kenneth J. Balkus, Jr., a professor at the University of Texs at Dallas.

How will it work? ,[object Object]

How was it synthesized? ,[object Object],2. Attach lead sulfide quantum dots using a thiolactic acid linker (CH 3 COSH). 3. L-Cysteine is added.

How is it synthesized? (continued) ,[object Object],That converts the cysteine side chane into s-nitrosocysteine. This nanoparticle will now create singlet oxygen when hit with infrared light, which will destroy tumors.

Identify the nanoparticle components Titanium dioxide nanotube: Only absorbs UV light Thiolactic acid linker Lead sulfide Quantum dots cysteine Nitroso group (s-nitrosocysteine)

What is the future of nanotechnology? ,[object Object]
