Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States and its high mortality rate can be attributed towards poor diagnosis methods and less effective therapeutic treatments. Many nanotechnology-based diagnostics and therapeutics are being developed to improve cancer patient outcomes. In this work, we have studied nanoparticles for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer treatment.
In the first work, novel fluorescent NPs loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) were developed for bioimaging applications of pancreatic cancer. Targeted fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) are being developed to image a range of cancer types with the goal to improve patient outcomes by utilizing in …
