The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to support the development of new magnetic particle imaging tracers. The goal is to create superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle clusters with controlled properties that can be used to improve magnetic particle imaging, a non-invasive medical imaging technique similar to MRI. Key objectives include designing and synthesizing poly(amino acid) polymers to direct the assembly of nanoparticles into clusters, demonstrating control over cluster properties, and evaluating the magnetic characteristics of the resulting tracers. This interdisciplinary effort will engage students and promote broader participation through partnerships with National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation programs. The funded research aims to help advance magnetic particle imaging as a tool for disease diagnosis and treatment.
