Radiotherapy is an important part of modern cancer treatment and more than 50% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy at least once. Modern radiotherapy relies on advanced high precision planning, treatment equipment and imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), positron-emission tomography (PET) and magnetic imaging resonance (MRI) in order to deliver high radiation doses to a precisely defined target in patients. Read more

Lipid nanoparticles (liposomes) can serve as diagnostic imaging agents for fast visualization of solid tumors and metastases in vivo due to their potential as carriers of radioactive isotopes for therapeutic use. In this research project radioisotope loaded liposomes are designed for use as imaging agents in clinic for diagnostic and theranostic applications. Read more

Controlled synthesis and structuring of small building blocks that self-organize into highly functional nanomaterials for use in disease diagnostics and therapy is an important aspect in the development of new nanomedicine technology. Read more

At the DTU Center for Nanomedicine and Theranostics we have developed new nanosensors for measurements of intracellular pH and demonstrated that these are superior to conventional pH sensors. By optimization and improvements of calibration and image analysis we are now demonstrating the use of nanosensors for answering biological questions. Read more

A major challenge in the drug delivery field is to enhance transport of therapeutics across biological barriers such as the blood brain barrier (BBB), the small intestine, nasal, skin and the mouth mucosa. Read more
