A new bioimaging tool for profiling intracellular reactions and drug distribution

Lead Research Organisation: University of Edinburgh
Department Name: Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description Consultancy work was carried out and defined the market landscape of our imaging technology. This has identified a number of commercial and academic interactions for follow-up and has heloped focus our current research goals. In addition input into the intellectual property associated with the chemical imaging probes being developed was provided which has guided our further work.
