Eliza Hutter.

Background
Eliza Hutter obtained an MD degree at the Medical Institute in Leningrad (now St.Petersburg), Russia in 1991 and a Ph.D degree in Chemistry in Clarkson University, USA (2001). Her research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of nanobiotechnology, specifically, in the exploitation of localized surface plasmon of gold nanostructures for biological applications, such as sensing, imaging and drug delivery (nanotheragnostics).

Research highlight
Eliza’s work is focused on gold nanoparticles of various shapes, nanothermometer, gold nanoparticle based enzyme activity assays.
