Modified Liposomes as Optical Probes, Magnetic Labels, and Drug Carriers

Liposomes are a very attractive type of nanoparticles to design advanced agents for targeted drug delivery and bioimaging. We have fabricated multifunctional and multimodal liposomes. In particular, we have employed several physical and chemical methods to introduce external and internal high-affinity agents, as well as fluorescent and magnetic markers. A variety of applications is demonstrated for the constructed liposomes.
