Strategic objectives

The group's strategic plan is focused on transferring all the knowledge and techniques already known about the handling of luminescent nanoparticles to fields of direct application in the field of biomedicine through the establishment of solid and real collaborations with clinical groups.

Research lines

• Development of new luminescent nanostructures for high penetration three-dimensional imaging.
• Development of new luminescent nanostructures for the development of minimally invasive therapies.
• Development of new experimental bio-imaging systems for in vivo and in vitro applications of high penetration and minimal interaction.
• Development of optical tools for the handling of single cells for the study of their intra-cellular dynamics.
• Understanding and prediction of toxicity phenomena of luminescent nanoparticles.
• Synthesis of biocompatible nanoparticles for the delivery of microRNAs.
