Biomedical imaging with spins in nanoparticles: from single cell to whole-body scanning [ 2010 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr DJ Reilly; Dr JR Rabeau; Prof Dr A- Krueger

Brief description The engineering of new biomedical technology is critical in underpinning our understanding of physiology and in the early detection of disease. This project will construct novel instrumentation for investigating normal and diseased physiology using bioagents based on diamond and ruby nanoparticles. The imaging and tracking techniques proposed are non-invasive, nontoxic, and provide high-resolution access to specific physiological interactions of paramount importance in, for instance, understanding cancer pathways and developing strategies for targeted drug delivery.
