# Developing Activatable Fluorescent Flavonoids for Vascular Imaging

> **NIH NIH R15** · UNIVERSITY OF AKRON · 2024 · $90,049

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract:
 For biomedical imaging applications, fluorescent molecular probes play an essential role, as their use
enables selective display of specific cellular structures and blood vessels. The project seeks to acquire a
modern fluorometer that is capable of detecting fluorescence in near infrared (NIR) region. Such an instrument
is necessary for characterization of the new fluorescent compounds. By enhancing our capability to
characterize the fluorescent properties of new compounds, the requested new fluorometer will speed up the
process in developing the new fluorescent compounds for imaging applications, which is the major goal for the
current NIH research project.
