Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Leeds

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.

Funding Notes
