Professor Marc Vendrell FRSC
Winner: 2023 Bader Prize
The University of Edinburgh
For the design and synthesis of activatable fluorophores, and their application in high-resolution biological imaging and translational medicine.
Celebrate Professor Marc Vendrell
Professor Vendrell’s work focuses on the preparation of new chemical compounds to help us visualise and understand how cells behave inside our bodies. In the lab, they make very specific fluorescent compounds that can bind to cells associated with disease, such as tumour cells or pathogens. They can then see where they are, how many of them there are, and how they are responding to treatment. Using these fluorescent molecules during clinical imaging, or as part of clinical assays in the lab, means earlier and better diagnosis of disease and also help clinicians choose the right treatment for patients.
