A research team in the University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS), led by Associate Professor Liu Tzu-Ming, has developed a new phosphorescence imaging method to map tumour hypoxia, which can help to precisely detect and remove cancerous tumours. This is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Prof Liu’s team and Prof Sergey P Tunik at Saint Petersburg State University, Prof Igor O Koshevoy at the University of Eastern Finland, and Prof Chou Pi-Tai at Taiwan University. The research team synthesised a new class of rhenium (Re^I) diimine carbonyl complexes that can penetrate vessel walls after bolus injections.

The study has been published in the prestigious journal Advanced Science.
