![]() ![]() ![]() By incorporating a radioactive isotope (Au-198) in the gold nanocages, Xia enabled their use for real-time, in-vivo imaging. For this reason, gold nanocages are superb contrast agents for imaging tissues by tomography. For example, they have extraordinarily strong absorption and scattering capabilities, which can be optimized to the transparent window of soft tissues. Gold nanocages are multifunctional materials consisting of single-crystal nanoboxes with empty interiors, porous walls, and unique properties. Among them are gold nanocages for medicine and molecular imaging and electrospun nanofibers for regenerative medicine. The award recognizes Xia’s sustained outstanding research at the intersection of biomedical research and nanotechnology and the original and important contributions he has made to advance these fields. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, and the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Xia has joint appointments in three Georgia Tech academic units: the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the Wallace H. Georgia Tech has named Younan Xia as the recipient of the 2019 Sigma Xi Sustained Research Award. ![]()
