About the Project

The project will involve the synthesis of advanced upconversion nanoparticles and their characterisation aimed at assessing their suitability as dual-mode (optical and MRI) imaging materials for cancer tissues. Upconversion nanoparticles are inorganic nanoparticles that are capable of emitting visible light under near-infrared laser excitation allowing us to image deeper into the tissues with less interference compared to other light-based imaging techniques.
