The project focuses on developing hypoxia-sensing probes for MRI to target unmet needs in diagnostic medicine, particularly for diseases involving hypoxia such as cancer, kidney, and hepatic diseases. The research aims to improve imaging of oxygen levels in tissues, which is critical for diagnosing and treating various diseases.
Description
This NIH-funded project aims to develop systemic delivery methods for europium-based contrast agents for MRI, addressing key challenges such as persistence time and relaxivity, to enable better imaging of hypoxia-related diseases.
