We are glad to invite you to a seminar by Prof. Dmitry Gorin, titled “In vitro and in vivo imaging of remote controlled theranostic carriers”
Seminar abstract:
In his talk Prof. Dmitry Gorin will introduce a new type of multifunctional carriers that will combine the functions of in vivo navigation and visualization, the ability to deploy drug in controllable manner, including physical triggering and sensing of important biological markers. Physical targeting of carriers will be realized by the gradient of magnetic field, optical tweezers approach. The carrier sensitivity to external influences as laser irradiation, ultrasound treatment can be changed by variation of volume fraction and chemical composition of inorganic nanoparticles in the nanocomposite carrier shells. The same approach is applied for drug delivery carriers and biosensors imaging by MRI, OCT and photoacoustics using magnetite and gold nanoparticles as contrast agents, respectively. The obtained multifunctional carriers can be used as drug delivery systems including drug depot, combining such functionalities as navigation and visualization, remote activated release of bioactive substances.
