This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $1,000,000 to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines will develop an advanced mid-infrared imaging instrument to analyze the interactions of chiral drugs with biological tissues. The project aims to provide detailed spatial information on how chiral drug molecules behave in different tissue environments, which is crucial for developing safer and more effective medications. By leveraging novel detection schemes and metamaterial assemblies, the imaging technology will transform traditional chiroptical spectrometers, enabling quicker and more sensitive assessments of drug candidates to speed up the pharmaceutical development process. This project will foster innovation and entrepreneurship among students, ultimately contributing to the advancement of personalized medicine. The award period is from September 15, 2024, to August 31, 2027.
