Imaging anatomical variation in uptake of plasma macromolecules by the coronary artery wall
1st supervisor: Peter Weinberg, Imperial College London 2nd supervisor: Rene Botnar, King’s College London Excessive uptake of plasma macromolecules by the arterial wall is thought to be a key event in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis but has...read moreThe use of bisphosphonates as phase transfer reagents for bioactive fluorescence and near-infrared emitting quantum dots
1st supervisor: Mark Green, King’s College London 2nd supervisor: Nick Long, Imperial College London The use of quantum dots (QDs) in imaging is now widespread, but the preparation of water-soluble and non-toxic luminescent materials is non-trivial and still the...read moreMatrix metallo proteinase (MMP)-responsive peptides for cancer imaging and treatment
1st supervisor: Ramon Vilar 2nd supervisor: Eric Aboagye Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a set of zinc-dependent endopeptidases with the capability of degrading all components of the extracellular matrix and basement membranes. Breakdown of the extracellular...read moreMultimodal analysis of cardiac motion and deformation
1st supervisor: Andy King, King’s College London 2nd supervisor: Julia Schnabel, King’s College London Early screening of cardiovascular disease requires robust and validated tools to detect suspected disease as early as possible and direct the patient to...read moreLoad More
