Abstract :
Optical molecular imaging can characterize and monitor multi molecular events in vivo, which providing a practical tool for early tumor diagnosis and drug development. To establish a research platform for optical molecular imaging, we develop the fluorescent protein-based genetically encoded optical probes, lipoprotein-based multi-functional nanocarrier, and optical molecular imaging systems.
