Welcome to NanoLAB
Research Group led by Dr Zeljka Krpetic

Salford NanoLAB is a multi-disciplinary research group focused around nanoparticle synthesis, characterisation and applications in nanomedicine, engineering and materials science.
We are specialised in the custom design and fabrication of high-quality functional nanoparticles for applications in drug-delivery and researching the next-generation nano-pharmaceuticals.
Our research involves understanding and tailoring of the bio-nano interface, including the developments of complex multimodal theranostic nanostructures and their applications in nanomedicine.
If you are interested in postgraduate study opportunities (PhD or MRes) in Salford NanoLAB, please contact us.

ABOUT US
Salford NanoLAB is the research group founded by Dr Zeljka Krpetic in 2016. We are based within the School of Environment and Life Sciences, University of Salford, Manchester.
Our research focuses on the custom design of nanoparticles for novel applications in nanomedicine, cancer nanotechnology, and the discovery and design of novel antimicrobial nanoparticles. We are specialised in nanofabrication of gold, silver and copper nanoparticles and we are interested in developing new routes for characterisation of functional gold nanoparticles. Our development of novel nanomedicine formulations is aimed at future cancer therapy treatments and applications in AMR research.
Salford NanoLAB hosts postgraduate PhD and Masters researchers, research visitors, graduate student placements, and graduate and postgraduate project students.
NanoLAB welcomes everyone with a passion for nanotechnology and creative scientific imagination.
If you are interested in becoming a postgraduate student at the NanoLAB in Salford University, gaining research visitor status, or funding our research, please contact Dr Zeljka Krpetic for more details.
