Currently we are developing our ground expertise in the areas of biosensors and drug delivery systems. These activities are carried out in close collaboration with partners from Cairo University, National Research Center in Egypt and University of Bonn in Germany. Quite recently, we have developed aptamers that could bind to specific cancer biomarkers. These aptamers

Sunlight provides the energy source that powers the earth’s ecosystem. Harnessing this energy could provide a renewable, sustainable, and low carbon energy source that could ultimately help in the economic development of nations. In general, the solar energy can be utilized in forms of heat or electricity. Solar cells are mainly used to convert solar

The industrial manufacturing of electronic and optoelectronic devices involves selective masking and etching methods to create nano- and micro- scale patterns on substrates. These methods include the highly developed photolithography and electron-beam lithography, allowing the fabrication of high-resolution features down to sub-100 nm. However, lots of sophisticated processing steps must be accurately carried out to

Huge efforts and funds have been devoted for the development of novel materials with superior chemical, electrical, optical, and electronic properties useful for wide range of industrial applications. Over the last few years, the synthesis and processing techniques utilized for the fabrication of novel materials have been modernized and advanced, mainly to adapt the need

Water shortage is one of the top ten global problems which affect people living in our world. Lack of clean and safe drinking water causes 80-90% of all diseases and kills about 4000 children everyday. Water demand increases due to the growth in the population, industrial as well as agricultural developments. However, the renewable water
