Dr. Olaf Walter

Actinide dioxide nanoparticles: low temperature synthesis for materials
Dr. Olaf Walter, European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre, Germany


At the end of 1994 Olaf concluded his PhD at the University of Heidelberg with Prof. G. Huttner. Then he joined the Bertini group in Florence until March 1997. Afterwards he worked at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (today: KIT) in the field of catalysis and process development where in 2000 he was awarded with a permanent position. In 2011 he moved to the JRC-Karlsruhe (formerly: ITU) where since 2013 he is employed as research official in the field of syntheses and characterisation. His research interests are the complex and organometallic chemistry of the actinides, and their application towards the synthesis of nano-sized materials. He is (co-)author of ca 140 journal contributions.

Dr. Moganavelli Singh

An Overview of Nanoparticles in Gene and Drug Delivery In Vitro
Dr. Moganavelli Singh, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa


Prof Moganavelli Singh graduated with a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2006. She is currently an Associate Professor, Researcher and Head of the Non-Viral Gene and Drug Delivery Laboratory at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Her research interests are interdisciplinary, and include the development and biological evaluation of novel non-viral (polymeric, lipid and inorganic) nanoparticles as potential gene and drug delivery vehicles for cancer gene therapy. Among the nanoparticles currently under evaluation in her laboratory are gold, silver, selenium, and magnetic iron nanoparticles. In addition she is also involved in the evaluation of the anti-cancer activities of chemically synthesized and medicinal plant compounds.
