- Photodynamic therapy uses light to treat cancer, without any need for chemoselective targeting, limited only by the ability to confine light to the tumour cells. Our work advanced photodynamic therapy to single-cell resolution, providing a new tool to oncologists performing surgical resection near sensitive tissues. Led to four invited talks and a £100k CRUK grant for follow-up development (A29694) as well as to a new collaboration with Prof. Iain McNeish, Head of the Division of Cancer at Imperial College London to study methods for detecting and treating ovarian cancer.
