Funded Activity Summary

Development of Two-Dimensional MnO2 Nanosheets for a theranostic platform. This project aims to develop a novel diagnostic and therapeutic nanoplatform for cancer treatment that will improve cancer diagnosis and monitoring of treatment and reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy. The platform, based on biocompatible, ultrasmall and targeted two-dimensional manganese-oxide nanosheets, aims to combine simultaneous targeting, stimuli-responsive magnetic resonance imaging and drug release and delivery. This should enable precise imaging of tumour tissues and enhanced drug delivery triggered by the physiological tumour microenvironment. The translation of this technology into clinical practice is likely to have significant benefits for the efficient treatment of cancer.
