Paper Abstract
Nanoparticles doped with rare earth ions for biomedical imaging and infrared photodynamic therapy (IRPDT) have been
synthesized, characterized, and compared. Specifically, these nanoparticles utilize two primary modalities: near infrared
excitation and emission for imaging, and near infrared upconversion for photodynamic therapy. These nanoparticles are
optimized for both their infrared emission and upconversion energy transfer to a photoactive agent conjugated to the
surface. Finally, these nanoparticles are tested for toxicity, imaged in cells using the near infrared emission pathway, and
used for selective killing of cells through the upconversion driven IRPDT.
