  overall_research_project_description: 'Gold nanorods (AuNRs) and MXenes have emerged as promising nanomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Their unique optical, photothermal, and physicochemical properties make them promising agents for developing advanced theranostic platforms. This project aims to investigate the combined effects of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and MXenes on cancer cells cultured in both 2D monolayers and 3D spheroid models. It will include the synthesis and characterization of these materials, an evaluation of their impact on cell viability, uptake, and distribution, as well as an assessment of their potential for enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT). The project will compare results between 2D and 3D models to bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo studies, potentially improving the translation of nanomedicine research to clinical applications.
