Research Expertise & Interest :

Molecular imaging is a technique to visualize, characterize and measure biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems. Understanding fundamental biology can lead to drug discovery. Thus, molecular imaging can be a powerful tool in disease diagnosis and treatment efficacy assessment. Our research is focused on synthesis of organic dyes for molecular imaging, molecular therapy, and nanotechnology.
