Deep imaging for understanding molecular processes in complex organisms

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to establish a new fluorescence-based imaging platform that provides an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and spectral discrimination for investigating molecular processes deep within biological tissues. It aims to generate fundamental knowledge in biology, chemistry and materials science relevant to emerging technologies including synthetic tissue construction, nanoparticle assisted delivery of bioactive compounds, molecular sensors, and designer plants. Expected outcomes are high impact discoveries, training opportunities, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations and publications addressing fundamental questions that will ultimately contribute to improved crop production and biomedical products.
