A Vietnamese professor working in London has been named winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)'s 2022 Interdisciplinary Prize.

Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, professor at University College London (UCL), is honored with the prize "for outstanding contributions to interdisciplinary research on fundamental understanding of chemical syntheses, physical studies of plasmonic and magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical applications," RSC stated on its website.

Nanomaterials have shown some of their potential in biomedicine. This potentially increases when core materials have exceptional physical properties as well as stability and functionality in biological environments. This can be achieved by the synthesis of nanoparticles with novel optical, magnetic, electronic and catalytic properties in such a way that makes them compatible with biological environments and readily functionalized in a controlled manner.
