Development of multimodal biosensors

该项目将专注于合成和表征专为光学成像实验而设计的新型分子探测器。特别是，该项目将研究新的功能化探针的合成策略，这些探针在生物学背景下展示特定的靶向能力。这将包括基于有机和有机金属的分子探测器，其受益于在生物学环境中可能有利的可调光物理属性

The project will focus upon the synthesis and characterisation of new molecular probes that are designed for application in optical imaging experiments. In particular the project will investigate synthetic strategies for new functionalised probes that demonstrate specific targeting ability in a biological context. This will encompass both organic and organometallic based molecular probes that benefit from tuneable photophysical attributes that can be advantageous in a biological context
