Congratulations Kagan!

Kagan Kerman is the recipient of an Early Researcher Award. This program helps promising, recently-appointed Ontario researchers build their research teams.
With an aging population, Alzheimer’s disease is becoming more common, and there’s an urgent need to develop an effective treatment for it. Kagan Kerman is developing new biosensors to aid Alzheimer’s drug discovery. His work could help position Ontario as a leader in biosensor research.

Seferos Group: Carving out a niche with hollow gold nanotubes

The MRS Bulletin recently reported on the first-known successful synthesis of solution-suspendable hollow gold nanotubes. This discovery by the Seferos group will open the door to further development and study of these nanostructures, particularly in applications that require a high sensitivity to subtle changes in refractive index, such as sensing and imaging.
