- This is the first paper that illustrated the usage of rare-earth doped materials as contrast agents for photoacoustic and near infra-red fluorescence bimodal imaging. We performed several systematic studies across in vitro and in vivo settings to show the uptake and biodistribution of this new class of contrast agent. The work also initiated a multi-disciplinary collaboration between clinical research (S. Yu and M. Lin, Singapore General Hospital), chemists (S. Maji, S, Sreejit and Y. Zhao, Naynang Technological University) and engineering which resulted in four further publication (DOIs: 10.1021/acsnano.5b02172, 10.1021/nn507072r, 10.1039/C5SC04986E, 10.1002/ppsc.201400044)
