Dr. Benoit Driesschaert | Development of Stable Triarylmethyl Radicals EPR | O2M Webinar Series

Recorded: May 10, 2021

About the Webinar:

Low-field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) with a molecular spin probe is a powerful technique to profile various biomarkers of the tissue microenvironment in vivo. This presentation will discuss the design, synthesis, and applications of triarylmethyl (TAM) radicals sensitive to important physiological parameters such as dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentration, microviscosity, and enzyme activity.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Benoit Driesschaert is an Organic Chemist, Assistant Professor at West Virginia University in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His laboratory develops stable triarylmethyl radicals used as spin probes and spin labels for biomedical EPR applications.​
