PROFESSOR KATTESH V. KATTI

The KurzweilAI.net article "Green" method to make gold nanoparticles said
University of Missouri scientist Kattesh Katti has discovered how to make gold nanoparticles using gold salts, soybeans, and water — an alternative to production methods using toxic chemicals.
 
The new process could allow medical researchers to expand the use of gold nanoparticles for drug delivery and other purposes.
Kattesh V. Katti, M.Sc.Ed, PhD, FRSC is Gauss Professor, Professor of Radiology and Physics, Director University of Missouri Cancer Nanotechnology Platform, University of Missouri.
 
Kattesh's research areas are Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Nanomedicine, Metals/Organomatallics In the Development of Cancer Diagnostic and Therapeutic Agents, Biomedical Optical Imaging, New Approaches to Cancer Therapy, New Biomaterials for use in Surgical and Non-surgical Wound Healing applications, and Fundamental Aspects of Structure of Water and Water-Alcohol Binary Mixtures.
 
Kattesh coauthored Heteroatomic Chelation of Mixed Phosphine (or Arsine) and Phosphine Oxide Ligands with Rhenium(V). Synthesis, Characterization, and X-ray Structural Investigations of New Rhenium(V) Metallacyclic Compounds: (O)PPh2(CH2)nEPh2Re(O)Cl3 (E = P, As), 99mTc-Labeling and in Vivo Studies of a Bombesin Analogue with a Novel Water-Soluble Dithiadiphosphine-Based Bifunctional Chelating Agent, In Vitro and in Vivo Antitumor Properties of Tetrakis((trishydroxy- methyl)phosphine)gold(I) Chloride, and Rearrangement of a Phosphorus-Carbon-Phosphorus Bridge to a Phosphorus-Nitrogen-Phosphorus Bridge via Organogermanium- or Organotin-Assisted Cleavage of a Phosphorus-Carbon Bond. Crystal and Molecular Structure of the Imine Salt (CH3)Ph2PNPPh2(NH2)+Cl-. Read the full list of his publications!
