  Development of the Gold Nanocontructs for Infection Remediation (AuNIR)​

  Our technology is known as AuNIR (Gold Nanoconstructs for Infection Remediation). It is ​an innovative nanotechnological approach that employs an antibody-conjugated, antibiotic-loaded, gold nanocage (AuNC) solution to target MDR pathogens. This multimodal therapeutic intervention takes advantage of the synergistic effects of photodynamic therapy(PDT), photothermal therapy(PTT), and pharmacological intervention.
