Tuberculosis causes a staggering burden of mortality world-wide, killing 2 million people annually. To cure tuberculosis, prolonged therapy of at least 6 months is required, because antituberculosis drugs do not penetrate well into macrophages, which are a major reservoir of M. tuberculosis. To… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project focuses on the development of new pharmaceutical agents to selectively enhance tumor imaging using gallium 67. A photo-degradation product of nifedipine, nitrosipine, has been found to selectively enhance the uptake of Ga67 by tumor cells. A… More
