This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), provides $406,832 to develop novel boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photo-uncaging groups. The research aims to create efficient red-to-near-infrared (red-to-NIR) light-responsive materials for applications such as precision drug delivery, neuron modulation, light-triggered reactions, and gene therapy activation. The award, with a period of performance from August 8, 2024 to July 31, 2026, will support the New Jersey Institute of Technology's efforts to increase photo-uncaging efficiency by rigidifying the BODIPY structure and enabling dual cargo release. The research outcomes are expected to expand the toolbox for biomedical applications that benefit from deeper tissue penetration and less photodamage from red-to-NIR light.
