Project description
 In biomedicine, accurate temperature measurement is utilized to monitor inflammation and cancer within a temperature range of 20–50 ºC. This project focuses on developing ratiometric luminescent nanothermometers operating in the NIR region, where the media like water, blood and tissue will affect the readout.
