NIR-quantum dots in biomedical imaging and their future (2021)
Journal Article
Gil, H. M., Price, T. W., Chelani, K., Bouillard, J. S. G., Calaminus, S. D., & Stasiuk, G. J. (2021). NIR-quantum dots in biomedical imaging and their future. iScience, 24(3), Article 102189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.102189

Fluorescence imaging has gathered interest over the recent years for its real-time response and high sensitivity. Developing probes for this modality has proven to be a challenge. Quantum dots (QDs) are colloidal nanoparticles that possess unique opt... Read More about NIR-quantum dots in biomedical imaging and their future.

Synthesis of super bright indium phosphide colloidal quantum dots through thermal diffusion (2019)
Journal Article
Clarke, M. T., Viscomi, F. N., Chamberlain, T. W., Hondow, N., Adawi, A. M., Sturge, J., …Stasiuk, G. J. (2019). Synthesis of super bright indium phosphide colloidal quantum dots through thermal diffusion. Communications Chemistry, 2(1), Article 36. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42004-019-0138-z

© 2019, The Author(s). Indium phosphide based quantum dots have emerged in recent years as alternatives to traditional heavy metal (cadmium, lead) based materials suitable for biomedical application due to their non-toxic nature. The major barrier to... Read More about Synthesis of super bright indium phosphide colloidal quantum dots through thermal diffusion.

Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging (2017)
Journal Article
Eling, C. J., Price, T. W., Marshall, A. R. L., Narda Viscomi, F., Robinson, P., Firth, G., …Stasiuk, G. J. (2017). Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging. ChemPlusChem, 82(5), 674-680. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201600593

A novel SERS/fluorescent multimodal imaging probe for mitochondria has been synthesised using 12 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNP) surface functionalised with a rhodamine thiol derivative ligand. The normal pH dependant acidic fluorescence of the... Read More about Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging.
