Multilayered siRNA nanoparticles as a delivery system for extended gene silencing effect

Abstract

• I performed all experiments, sample processing and data analysis in Ocular Therapeutics Engineering Centre (OTEC) at the School of Material Science and Engineering (MSE). • Dr Tan Yang Fei conducted the Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging for the qualitative investigation on the cellular internalization of 7 layered LbL NPs. • Jenndy conducted the X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) of HAp at the Facility for Analysis, Characterization, Testing and Simulation (FACTS) laboratory. I collected the X-ray diffraction patterns of HAp and conducted data evaluation with guidance rendered to me by Dr Liu Weiling from FACTS laboratory. • Lim Pei Qi conducted the Transmission electron micrographs (TEM) of the HAp NPs, 3 layered, 5 layered and 7 layered nanoparticles.
