fluorine-doped graphene in photodynamic therapy
Event
2nd
Edition of International Cancer and Precision Oncology Conference (ICPOC 2026)
🔬 Exploring Next-Generation
Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapy
Photodynamic
therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive approach for
treating cancer. During ICPOC 2026, Professor Paulo Cesar De Morais will
present innovative research on fluorine-doped graphene quantum dots (F@GQDs)
and their potential to enhance the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy.
This
presentation focuses on overcoming key challenges associated with conventional
graphene quantum dots, including limited singlet oxygen quantum yield, poor
water solubility, and biocompatibility.
🔍 Key Highlights
✔ Development of fluorine-doped graphene quantum dots (F@GQDs)
✔ Average particle size below 3 nm
✔ Approximately 2% fluorine doping
✔ Enhanced water solubility
✔ Improved biocompatibility
✔ Strong green fluorescence
✔ Quantum yield exceeding 13%
✔ Successful in vitro photodynamic activity
These
findings demonstrate the potential of advanced nanomaterials to improve
targeted cancer therapies and support the future development of safer, more
effective treatment strategies.
