Laser Spray Ionization (LSI) Method for Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Technology Summary: Laser Spray Ionization (LSI) is a novel inlet ionization method for mass spectrometry invented at WSU which can be used to create predominately multiply charged ions from solid samples at atmospheric pressure. Unlike MALDI ionization methods which are typically limited to producing singly charged species for larger molecules, LSI...

Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy for Molecular Imaging
Detailed Description Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM) is an emerging technology that combines the strengths of magnetic resonance and force microscopy to achieve high resolution three-dimensional sub-surface imaging of a test substance. WSU researchers have adapted and refined MRFM to study biological systems such as isolated cells sub-cellular...

Method For Treating and/or Imaging Breast Cancer Using Radioactive Iodine
This invention involves treating a breast cancer patient by the administration of a radioisotope of iodine in a dosage of between 5 and 50 milliCuries over the course of a day. The therapeutic composition is designed for mammary tissue uptake and includes an inorganic radioactive iodide salt (e.g., alkali metal, alkali earth or transition metal...

Drug-Dendrimer Nanoparticles for Targeted Treatment of Neuroinflammation
Highly effective dendrimer-drug based compositions and methods for treatment have been developed that target neuroinflammation both in the brain and the retina upon intravenous administration. The nanodevices overcome the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and deliver drugs to target cells (activated microglia and astrocytes) producing dramatic therapeutic improvements....

Next Generation MRI Contrast Imaging Agent
WSU has developed a new class of contrast agents that are effective at ultra-high field strengths (>3 tesla) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) where current clinical agents severely decline in effectiveness. Our new agents are based on the metal Eu(II) which is novel compared to current agents that are based on Gd(III). The difference between the...
