| Citation | Professor Frank Caruso is distinguished for his development of a templated assembly technology to produce nanoengineered particles for biomedical applications. His advances include innovative approaches for drug loading and surface functionalisation of the particles with biomolecules, and utilisation of the particles for targeting cancer/immune cells and bone formation. These particulate systems also underpin new developments in artificial cell research and complex microreactors for biochemical synthesis. The engineered particles offer significant promise in biomedical applications, ranging from therapy and imaging through to their use as cellular mimics and microreactors. |
