SUMMARY:Self-assembly of nanoparticles on membranes - Dr Andela Saric\, Ca
 mbridge

DESCRIPTION:We show\, using computer simulations\, how nanoparticles can s
 elf-assemble into a variety of beautiful and functional patterns when adhe
 ring to fluid membranes. Adsorbed nanoparticles can further induce long tu
 bular protrusions in the membrane\, which is a novel route for nanoparticl
 e entry of into cells\, and points to an unexplored pathway of viral infec
 tion. When the membrane is cross-polymerised\, thus elastic\, we find that
  the morphology of self-assembled patterns is further controlled by the me
 mbrane geometry.
