Abstract: Towards efficient and translational medical research, our group develops disease-specific treatments for targeting certain aspects of cancer therapy using a prodrug light-activated platform, metal polypyridyl complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photochemotherapy (PCT). In all cases, we accomplish this through a tumor-centered approach coupled with a photophysical model (built on decades of polypyridyl research) to elicit desired reactivity for a given application. In the following body of work, we have compiled several manuscripts and supplementary material as they relate to two key challenges within our fields, namely, overcoming tumor hypoxia and near-infrared applications. Additional emphasis is placed on the screening aspect of this drug discovery and discussed in the “Kitchen Sink” chapter.
