UTA researchers lead project with UT Southwestern and MD Anderson Cancer Center to develop device to deliver photo-induced cancer therapy to patients
Physicists from The University of Texas at Arlington are leading a multidisciplinary project with The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to develop a new multifunctional platform that can integrate imaging and photo-induced cancer therapy in a single, portable device.
The process of destroying cancer cells by utilizing chemicals or heat generated by nanoparticles induced by near-infrared light – through processes including photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy – has shown great promise as a
