Organic Material-Derived Emitters for Biomedical Imaging


News

Rob and Nikitas paper was recently highlighted as the front cover of the Journal of Materials Chemistry B. Their contribution is part of both the Journal of Materials Chemistry B HOT Papers and Materials Developments in Cancer Therapeutics themed collections. Rob will be presenting this work at ACS Rocky Mountain (Albuquerque), the Welch Research Conference (Houston), and ACS Spring (Atlanta). Stay tuned for more work in this space to come out soon.
