I am a dedicated researcher specializing in the fields of nanobiotechnology and bioengineering, holding a Master's degree in Industrial Biotechnology from National University of Sciences and Technology. My area of expertise revolves around the chemical synthesis of nano particals, nano-bubbles loaded with a therapeutic drug. During my master's thesis, I primarily focused on exploring the application of this technology in thrombolysis, providing innovative solutions for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis with aid of ultrasound. By engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations and displaying a strong commitment to advancing scientific knowledge, I am driven to actively contribute to the advancement and development of nanobiotechnology and bioengineering, shaping a promising future in these fields.

Nanoparticles for Thermal Ablation
This chapter explores the design, synthesis, and biomedical application of nanoparticles in thermal ablation therapies for cancer treatment. It highlights how metallic and polymeric nanomaterials enhance photothermal and magnetic hyperthermia by improving energy absorption, tumor specificity, and controlled heat generation. Emphasis is placed on recent advances, challenges in clinical translation, and the potential of multifunctional nanoplatforms for image-guided, minimally invasive cancer therapy.
