Understanding the interactions between biological systems and colloidal nanomaterials is key in nanomedicine, biotechnology, and environmental science. Nanoparticle design varies in material composition, size, shape, and surface, while body and environmental fluids differ in molecular and macromolecular composition, rendering characterization complex. Yet, accurate nanoparticle analytics are critical for effective and safe applications. We combine experimental techniques like scattering and spectroscopy with mathematical modelling to analyse nanoparticles in complex fluids.
