Professor Hans Hertz at KTH (as main applicant) and Professor Marie Arsenian Henriksson at MTC and Professor Muhammet Toprak at KTH (as co-applicants) have received a grant for 33 090 000 SEK from The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The grant is for their project entitled ”Molecular X-Ray Micro Imaging” and will cover a five year period.
The objective of the project is to develop molecular in vivo bio imaging with approximately 10 times higher resolution than any existing method. This method relies on x-ray fluorescence from targeted metallic nanoparticles and will first be developed in the mouse.
