Developing gold nanocluster based cancer theranostics

Abstract

Nanotheranostic a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities at a nanoscale range offers a promising prospect in cancer therapeutics Besides having the edges offered by the nanomaterials it further refutes the need of separate units for individual modalities The current thesis work is to develop novel nanoscale theranostic materials as potential candidates for their further clinical translation The thesis is organised in six chapters The first Chapter Chapter 1 provides a holis
