Dr. Hammond's research spans a wide range of areas within nanotechnology. Some of her key areas of focus include:
Drug Delivery: Developing nanoparticles and thin films that can deliver therapeutic agents directly to targeted cells, tissues, or organs. Biomaterials: Creating biocompatible materials that can interface with biological systems for applications such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Layer-by-Layer Assembly: Pioneering techniques for the layer-by-layer assembly of nanostructured materials, which can be used to create complex, multi-functional coatings and films. Energy Storage: Investigating new materials and methods for more efficient energy storage and conversion, including batteries and fuel cells. Cancer Therapy: Developing targeted therapies for cancer treatment using nanotechnology to improve the efficacy and reduce side effects of conventional treatments.
