Zhu Research Group

        Nanoscience and nanotechnology have made a big impact on modern medicine, energy and other areas. However, the experimental evaluation of nanomaterials to determine key physicochemical attributes, biological activities, and potential toxic effects is expensive and time-consuming. Informatics related studies are promising to answer this challenge by virtually designing new biocompatible nanomaterials. At Dr. Hao Zhu's lab, we aim to create novel nanoinformatics tools for data curation, model developments and data/model sharing purposes. We have developed novel nano-bio interaction models, including complex nanotoxicity models, using modern machine learning approaches. This project will lead to the design of novel biocompatible nanomaterials with low toxicity and desired bioactivities.
