About



Abubakar Mannir Rawayau is a multidisciplinary researcher specializing in nanotechnology and biomedical applications. He has strong expertise in synthesizing and surface-engineering iron oxide nanoparticles, including advanced water-transfer and ligand-exchange protocols. His skills include calorimetric SAR analysis, high-frequency hysteresis characterization, and polymer functionalization for biomedical use. Abubakar is experienced in TEM, DLS, XRD, TGA, ICP-OES, and electrophoretic techniques for structural and colloidal analysis. He also has a solid background in molecular biology, PCR/qPCR, immune staining, and mammalian cell culture. During his research fellowship at IIT Genoa, he worked on magnetic nanoparticles for cancer theranostics. His scientific interests focus on magnetic hyperthermia, MPI/MRI imaging, nanoparticle–immune cell interfaces, and CAR-NK–based cancer therapy. He aims to develop translational nanomaterials that integrate diagnostics and therapy. Abubakar brings strong analytical skills, interdisciplinary training, and a passion for innovative cancer nanomedicine.
