About

Research

Nesrine is currently a PhD student at the Department of Chemical Engineering at NTNU. Her work focuses on designing responsive polymeric nanoparticles with a superparamagnetic iron core for nanomedicine. This involves the synthesis of nanoparticles through nanoprecipitation and flash nanoprecipitation, as well as their characterization by several techniques including dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning transmission electon microscopy (TEM and STEM).
The PhD project is carried out under the supervision of Sulalit Bandyopadhyay and Magnar Bjørås.

Having a background in both biology and chemistry, Nesrine has been especially interested by interdisciplinary projects that combine both fields. During her first year of Master’s, she worked on the optimization of an antibiotic through a biosynthetic engineering approach in Challis lab at Warwick University in UK. She produced novel enacyloxin analogues via mutasynthesis before conducting purification and characterization of natural products, as well as antimicrobial activity assays.

She joined later the Inpact group at MADIREL, a research unit of the CNRS in France during her second year of Master’s. Nesrine worked on the NANOSARC project to study the influence of several parameters on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles in the aim of developing a gene therapy for liposarcoma.
