Killing Cancer with Light

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a strategy for treating cancer, where a nontoxic prodrug, the photosensitizer (PS), is activated by light to form…

Photochemistry and Photophysics

A key element in designing photosensitizers is the ability to predict the molecular structures that will trap the energy of photons and…

Synthesis

Our laboratory maintains significant organic and inorganic synthetic capacity; we design and build the ligands, and then assemble them into the metal…

Cell biology

We run multiple cell lines to screen our compounds in vitro, and our hypoxia chamber allows us to explore the role of…
