Paul Pantano
Dr. Pantano is an associate professor of chemistry and a site director of the Robert A. Welch Foundation Summer Scholar Program.
The driving force of PantanoLABO is the development of elegant analytical techniques and methodologies to understand complex chemical systems. The goals include elucidating the intracellular response and fate of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), and advancing the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of SWNTs. The areas of expertise include the characterization of SWNT materials, the reproducible preparation of purified SWNT samples, and the development of direct and label-free measurements of SWNTs inside living cells and tissue.
