Bio

I’m a Research Coordinator at Stanford University, with over three years of experience in medical research and technology development. My work at Wipe Out Melanoma - California (WOM-CA) focuses on the importance of healthcare access and levering technology for early detection of melanoma. I’m skilled in data & project management and fluently speak Spanish.

I’ve worked in human subject research involving wearable devices and led hands-on training for study procedures, including data collection and handling. With my background in Biomedical Engineering, I’m passionate about applying real-life solutions to modern social and healthcare challenges. I’m able to work with large multidisciplinary teams of researchers and engineers to optimize multiple biomedical innovations.

    Abstract

    Photothermal therapy (PTT), a recently emerging method for eradicating tumors, utilizes hyperthermia induced by photo-absorbing materials to generate heat within cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have gained reliability for in vitro and in vivo applications in PTT due to their strong light absorbance, stability, and biocompatibility. Yet, their potential is limited by their spherical shape, impacting their size capabilities, electromagnetic enhancement effects, and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Anisotropic shapes have been tested and implemented in this treatment to overcome the limitations of spherical AuNPs. Nanostars (AuNSs) and nanourchins (AuNUs) offer unique properties, such as increased local electron density, improved catalytic activity, and an enhanced electromagnetic field, which have proven to be effective in PTT. Additionally, these shapes can easily reach the NIR-I and NIR-II window while exhibiting improved biological properties, including low cytotoxicity and high cellular uptake. This work covers the critical characteristics of AuNS and AuNUs, highlighting rough surface photothermal conversion enhancement, significantly impacting recent PTT and its synergy with other treatments. Additionally, the bioimaging and theranostic applications of these nanomaterials are discussed, highlighting their multifaceted utility in advanced cancer therapies.
