To establish accurate and early stage tumour diagnosis, quantitative molecular imaging modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET) are being employed. Molecular probes containing a positron emitting isotope (e.g. ¹⁸F, ⁶⁴Cu) are designed to...

Cancer cells are derived from cells that are termed, and recognised as being 'self', meaning that the immune system does not target them. Many treatments target the tumour through its requirement for large quantities of nutrients. However, this cause...

We present the design, synthesis, characterization and spectral studies for a new Zn (II) and Fe (II) selective fluorescent probe, 4,4-Difluoro-8-{3-[(4-phenoxy-dipyrromethene)propoxy]}-4-bora-3a,4a-diazaindacene (DPYBODPY). DPBODPY consists of a ter... Read More about A novel Bodipy-Dipyrrin fluorescent probe: Synthesis and recognition behaviour towards Fe (II) and Zn (II).

Orthogonally bifunctionalised polyacrylamide nanoparticles: a support for the assembly of multifunctional nanodevices (2012)
Journal Article
Giuntini, F., Dumoulin, F., Daly, R., Ahsen, V., Scanlan, E. M., Lavado, A. S. P., Aylott, J. W., Rosser, G. A., Beeby, A., & Boyle, R. W. (2012). Orthogonally bifunctionalised polyacrylamide nanoparticles: a support for the assembly of multifunctional nanodevices. Nanoscale, 4(6), 2034-2045. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2nr11947a

Polyacrylamide nanoparticles bearing two orthogonal reactive functionalities were prepared by reverse microemulsion polymerisation. Water-soluble photosensitisers and peptide or carbohydrate moieties were sequentially attached to the new nanospecies...
