Key Terms
Cancer: cancer develops when cells in the body begin to divide and reproduce abnormally and have the potential to spread through the body.
Nanoparticle: a nanoparticle is a microscopic particle whose size is measured in nanometer (nm).
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): the use of light to induce reaction in the body which helps treating diseases in patients.
Photosensitizer / Photosensitizing Agent: a drug uses in PDT.
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS): it is a sensitive vibrational spectroscopy that gives structural information on the molecule and its local interactions

Introduction
There are three types of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma (75%)
Squamous cell carcinoma (20%)
Melanoma cell carcinoma (5%)

…ContinuedThe roles of gold nanoparticles and photosensitizer
Gold nonoparticles
-have a greater attraction to cancer cells than to healthy cells
-raman enhance the cells because gold nanoparticles are very good at scattering and absorbing light
photosensitizer
-kills cancer cells by laser excitation

Sub-culturing Cells (Fibroblasts) suck out the media from the flask cover all the cells in the flask with 10 ml trypsin Incubate it for about 3-5minutes suck out the trypsin from the flask put in 8 ml DMEM media to the flask repeat the steps of sucking in and out to make sure cells do not stick on the wall of the flask transfer the cell suspension to a sterile centrifuge tube for 3
minutes remove the supernatant and add new media to the pellet place the cell suspension into 6 well places Incubate the well plates for 1 hour and 30 minutes add gold and silver nonoparticles to the well plates (Experiment 2,
add gold nanoparticles with photosensitizer -ALA (Delta-aminolevulinic acid) to the well plates.)
Incubate the well plates for 24 hours (ALA)

Conclusion Different concentrations of gold nanoparticles have
different colors and sizes. MTT Test 1 shows the survival rate of cells after adding
silver nanoparticles compares to survival rate after adding gold nanoparticles are very close.
Results from MTT Test 2 show that most of the cells survive after adding nanoparticles with photonsensitizer-ALA; therefore, we conclude that without light source ALA is nontoxic to healthy cells.
Raman signal of ALA increases dramatically after adding silver/gold nanoparticles.

Future goals
apply gold nanoparticles and photosensitizer to skin cancer cells and see if gold nanoparticles with photosensitizer can kill the cancer cells efficaciously.
Raman spectrum responses from healthy and diseased cells.
Detect skin cancer cells more easily and precisely through the use of gold nanoparticles.
