• Established bio-imaging applications for a wide range of novel NIR fluorescent imaging platforms under the supervision of Prof Donal O’Shea.
• Performed first real-time widefield imaging and quantification of prodigiosin induced lysosome alkalization in living cells.
• Real-time live-cell imaging and quantification of dynamic biological processes (endocytosis, lysosomal trafficking and efflux) using a new class of pH responsive NIR fluorophore capable of selective lysosomal staining.
• Synthesised, and characterised novel poloxamer (pluronic) based nano-carriers capable of polarity responsive fluorescence. Demonstrated their suitability for multiple applications, such as monitoring in vitro drug.
• Imaged off-to-on endocytosis responsive nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo, and used these nanoparticles to develop a novel cell viability assay.
• Imaged NIR fluorophores appended with functional moieties, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, antibody fragments, peptides, and carbon nanoparticles.

As part of my final year project in undertook a project to synthesise a novel Iridium based near-infrared dye. The aim was to synthesise a NIR dye with the desired photophysical properties, and append a functional group allowing protein attachment to facilitate transmembrane transport into cancer cells.- Synthesis of the dye required developing, and.
