R&D ECIS sensing of photodynamic effects of nanoparticulate photosensitizers

Project duration 2008-2015

Funding Agency: Radiumhospitalets Forskningsstiftelse (The Norwegian Radiumhospital Research Foundation)

Project number: FU0802
Status: Ongoing
Semiconductor nanoparticles, so-called quantum dots, are being used for fluorescent imaging of cancer cells in vitro and in animals in vivo. We introduce the concept of using these nanoparticles as photosensitizers. Real-time monitoring using Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) of cancer cell responses to photodynamic toxicity caused by quantum dots are studied in this project.
