Lanthanide-based probes for MR-Molecular Imaging investigations

Molecular and cellular imaging is a relatively young field that is rapidly changing our approach towards understanding and solving problems in in vivo diagnoses with innovative solutions. The development of high sensitive, targeting and responsive agents is a major challenge to enhance the role of MRI in the field of Molecular Imaging applications. Understanding the relationships between structure and dynamics of Lanthanide(III) chelates has been fundamental for the development of high sensitive Gd(III) based agents. From targeting Human Serum Albumin for the development of angiographic agents, our research effo…
