Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Polymer
  • Ion

Dwight S. Seferos spends much of his time researching Oligonucleotide, Spherical nucleic acid, Molecular biology, Colloidal gold and Nanotechnology. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Oligonucleotide, concentrating on Nanoparticle and frequently concerns with Combinatorial chemistry, Nanoscopic scale and Bifunctional. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Biophysics under Spherical nucleic acid, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Biochemistry, RNA and Transfection.

His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Regulation of gene expression, Messenger RNA, DNA and Intracellular. His Colloidal gold research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nanoconjugates, Bioconjugation and Metal nanoparticles. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Silanization and Optical microscope.

His most cited work include:

  • Gold nanoparticles for biology and medicine. (1677 citations)
  • Gold nanoparticles for biology and medicine. (1677 citations)
  • Gene regulation with polyvalent siRNA-nanoparticle conjugates. (539 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Polymer, Nanotechnology, Conjugated system, Polymer chemistry and Photochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Polymer brings together such families of science as Thiophene, Acceptor and Heteroatom. Dwight S. Seferos has included themes like Crystallinity and Density functional theory in his Conjugated system study.

His study explores the link between Polymer chemistry and topics such as Side chain that cross with problems in Polythiophene. The various areas that he examines in his Photochemistry study include Tellurium, Oxidative addition, Intersystem crossing, Electrochemistry and Absorption spectroscopy. In his study, Colloidal gold is inextricably linked to Oligonucleotide, which falls within the broad field of Nanoparticle.
