A fulsome exploration of the history, design, and application of bioimaging probes and sensors

In Sensors and Probes for Bioimaging, distinguished researcher Professor Young-Tae Chang and Professor Nam-Young Kang deliver a comprehensive discussion of bioimaging achieved with sensors and probes. In the book, readers will find a complete discussion of the history of colorful sensors and probes, probe design and the mechanisms of staining, as well as cell and tissue application and whole-body imaging.

You'll learn how probes can be used, how to choose and use a variety of probes, and new directions in research and application in the area of sensors and probes for bioimaging.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to bioimaging, as well as discussions of chemical sensors and probes used in bioimaging
• Comprehensive explorations of organelle and cell selective probes, as well as discussions of a model for organelle selectivity
• Practical discussions of tissue selective probes and whole-body imaging
• Fulsome treatments of imaging for biological function and for the diagnosis of disease, including cancer and Alzheimer's imaging

Perfect for chemical biologists, analytical chemists, biochemists, and materials scientists, Sensors and Probes for Bioimaging will also earn a place in the libraries of clinical chemists and advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals working in the bioimaging and sensor industry.

Young-Tae Chang, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea.

Nam-Young Kang, PhD, is Research Professor in the Department of Convergence IT Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology. Her research interest is focused on Cell image-based High contents/through-put screening (HCS/HTS) to develop HCS based new drug using fluorescent imaging probes.
