Traditional fluorescent dyes used to track drugs in biological systems often alter the drug’s physical or chemical properties, which can distort research results.
The NoBiasFluors project aims to solve this problem by designing “non-biased” fluorescent dyes that:
Emit in red or near-infrared (NIR) regions for deeper tissue imaging Do not modify the drug’s pharmacological properties after conjugation Are suitable for optical imaging in cells and in living organisms (in vivo) This will help researchers monitor drug distribution and mechanism of action more accurately during biomedical research and drug development.
