Research Summary

  
   

The major part of my work at Emory is focused on surface-engineering of quantum dots and iron oxide nanoparticle-based ultra-sensitive imaging probes for in-vitro and in-vivo cancer imaging. The aim is to optimize the performance of these nanoimaging probes and also prepare multi-functional probes for delivery of therapeutic agents.

My other projects are involved in developing new ultra-small fluorescent metal nanocluster-based optical imaging probes by using water-soluble hyperbranched polymers as multivalent ligands.
