"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." The Analytical and Surface Chemistry (ASC) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the research program of Prof. Julia Xiaojun Zhao of University of North Dakota. Prof. Zhao and her students will develop a series of new near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) nanoparticles for sensitive detection and imaging of trace analytes in biosamples. The resulting fluorescent nanoparticles are expected to show highly intense and photostable fluorescence signals, clearly discrete excitation and emission peaks, high water solubility, high biocompatibility and low toxicity. These particles are likely to find use in biomedical, environmental and homeland security applications. The project will provide excellent training opportunities to students in bionanotechnology. Prof. Zhao will continue her on-going educational and outreach activities aiming to engage Native American undergraduate students in her research and promote the field of nanoscience to a wide audience in the State of North Dakota.

“该裁决是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。”化学司的分析和表面化学（ASC）计划将支持北达科他大学朱莉娅·肖朱恩教授的研究计划。 Zhao教授和她的学生将开发一系列新的近红外荧光（NIRF）纳米颗粒，以敏感地检测和对生物样本中的痕量分析成像。预计所得的荧光纳米颗粒将显示出高度强烈和光增强的荧光信号，明显离散的激发和发射峰，高水溶性，高生物相容性和低毒性。这些颗粒可能会在生物医学，环境和国土安全应用中找到使用。该项目将为Bionanotechnology的学生提供极好的培训机会。 Zhao教授将继续她正在进行的教育和外展活动，旨在吸引美洲原住民的本科生研究，并将纳米科学领域促进北达科他州的广泛观众。
