    The design and development of nanoparticles is emerging as one of the most promising areas of science in the 21st century. Among the different types of metallic nanoparticles in present use, gold nanoparticles are intensely ...
  • Multifunctional phosphinimine ligand for 99m-Tc(VII) stabilization [abstract] 

    Bhaskaran, Sharanya; Pandrapragada, Ravi Kumar, 1975-; Kannan, Raghuraman; Katti, Kattesh V. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
    The preparation of higher oxidation state, in vivo stable, 99mTc(VII) (and Re(VII)) transition metal complexes bearing biologically active molecules has recently received considerable attention because of their ...
  • Nanoscale sensor design via in situ labeling of gold nanoparticles onto protein scaffolds [abstract] 

    Bhaskaran, Sharanya (University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
    Recent research efforts in the area of nanosensors are focused on labeling proteins with gold nanoparticles. Protein labeled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) serve as colorimetric sensors due to their characteristic plasmon ...
  • New Tc-99m carbonyl complexes of SN bifunctional ligands [abstract] 

    Bhaskaran, Sharanya (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
    Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs with two components: a radioactive element that delivers a dose of radiation to detect or kill cancer cells targeted by the radiopharmaceutical and a targeting molecule that seeks out cancer ...
