Ms HUANG Xingyue is a PhD student in Asst Prof Tay’s team and the first author of the research paper. The NUS study demonstrates how gold nanoparticles of specific shapes, such as triangles, excel in delivering therapeutic nucleic acids and heating tumour cells during photothermal therapy. These findings contribute to the development of personalised cancer treatments that are safer and more effective.
