Nonlinear Optical Microscopy for Drug Delivery Monitoring and Cancer Tissue Imaging
Imaging of drug metabolism is of potentially great value to pharmaceutical companies in understanding the mode of action of a compound. This work, the output of an EPSRC Challenging Engineering Award (EP/E007864/1), follows earlier publications (DoI:10.3390/s100301871) to demonstrate that drug imaging may be achieved by label-free, non-linear optical microscopies. This work led directly to an equipment grant from Cancer Research UK (C157/A12753, £250k) to develop this instrumentation in partnership with the cancer research group based at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh.
