FDA Approves Human Trials of Cornell Dots

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
NEW YORK, June 20, 2011 — The first clinical trial in humans of a new technology called Cornell Dots — brightly glowing nanoparticles that can light up cancer cells in PET-optical imaging — has been approved by the FDA. The new technology, which was published in the June 13 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, was a collaborative effort between Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), Cornell University and Hybrid Silica Technologies (HST), a Cornell business startup. For the first time, scientists have reported an advanced, comprehensive...Read full article

    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
