Research topic, current CDI directions
- Development of nanosystems based on plasmonic nanoparticles bio-functionalized with specific biomolecules, drug molecules or (and) reporter molecules for biomedical applications in the field of nanomedicine, in particular in cancer treatment (nano-chemotherapy, photodynamic nano-therapy, plasmon resonance hyperthermia, multimodal therapy, molecular diagnostics and imaging, etc.)
- Development of nano(bio)sensors and plasmonic nanodevices based on nanostructured (periodic) metal films or colloidal nanoparticles for the detection and identification of biomarkers or (bio)chemical agents by vibrational spectroscopy methods in particular SERS, plasmon resonance – LSPR-UV-VIS, fluorescence spectroscopy including time-resolved, FEM, FCS and FRET, etc.
- Development of integrated microfluidic devices in different configurations
- Implementation of fast, reliable and low-cost nanofabrication and nanostructuring procedures by physical methods (self-assembly, unconventional nanolithography, metal or polymer thin film deposition) or by chemical methods (plasmonic nanoparticle synthesis and biosynthesis, CVD, RIE, etc.)
- Validation of confocal microscopy (Raman and time-resolved fluorescence) as complementary methods in (nano)toxicity analysis and medical diagnostics at cell and tissue level
- Graphene and nanocomposites for optoelectronics and biosensing
