Brief description The aim of this project is to develop bifunctionalised contrast nanoparticles which selectively target molecular markers of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases at various states. The nanoparticles would provide an advanced imaging technique for early diagnosis of fatty tissue build up in the vessel wall and for detecting vessel blockages. The nanoparticles would also work as drug carrier that specifically brings curative drugs to the disease site for an acute treatment simultaneously with diagnosis.
