Design of Raman Active Phopsholipid Gold Nanoparticles for Plasmonics based Tumour Detection and Imaging

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and one third of its burden can be decreased with early detection. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) based imaging is a promising new technique for non-invasive detection of tumours due to its ultra-sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities. F...
