Abstract
The project is about gold nanoparticles and how it is used as biomarkers. Gold nanoparticles are small gold particles with a diameter of 1 to 100 nm and is generally used for bio-imaging of tumor cells, for the study of endocytosis, along with many other biomedical related fields. Gold nanoparticles are used in these fields mainly because they have a good safety profile and are regarded as not toxic for the human body.
