Research project

Functionalized Magnetic Resonance Beacons for Enhanced Spectroscopy and Imaging

Project overview

Development and demonstration of molecular agents called functional magnetic resonance beacons (fMRBs). These agents support hyperpolarized spin order locked into long-lived states which may be converted into strong NMR signals upon activation by a physical, chemical, or biochemical signal.
