Nano-Biotechnology

Dr. Kristina Riehemann

The nano-medicine Group of Dr. K. Riehemann at CeNTech, Münster uses nano-materials applicable for medical purposes e.g. during inflammation or, optimized nano-structures that reduce inflammation, for prosthetics. Nano-analytics methods, like Atomic force microscopy (AFM), are used to understand subcellular processes during inflammatory processes and nano-biotechnology manipulates cells via nano-structures on the surface of materials according to medical needs. The group investigates the interaction of nanoparticles/nanostructured surfaces and cells of the immune system. In close cooperation to material science nanoparticles are characterized with regard to there the biomedical risk and benefit.
