Synthesis and characterization of ultrasmall magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
we are developing novel MRI imaging agents which be selectively recognized by cancerous cells. Their size and amphiphilic properties will be optimized to avoid phagocytic and early renal clearance, which will make them an effective tool for early detection of cancer.
