Ahmad Hafez

it depends on the kind of research that you want to conduct. It is a very multi disciplinary field. Basic knowledge of pharmaceutical sciences and molecular and cell biology is quite useful. there are some excellent books on the field in Bibliotheca Alexandrina and I have some papeps if you are really interested i can send those to you

Monir Uddin Ahmed

I am new in this field but my understanding that someone need knowledge and skill for extraction of reducing agent, synthesis of nano-particle and characterization of nanoparticle by different types of microscopy ( SEM, TEM, XRD ... etc) and studying applications ( antimicrobial activity, anti cancer activity, etc)
