Our research is focused on the development of multifunctional nanomaterials for applications in biology and medicine. We design, synthesize and customize nano- and micro-materials with applications in therapy, diagnostics, and imaging.
The interaction of light or alternating magnetic fields with inorganic NPs is orders of magnitude stronger than with organic molecules, in particular, due to their larger absorption cross-sections. Therefore inorganic NPs (or hybrid composites) offer a convenient platform to produce remotely controlled colloidal nanosystems. These interactions can be applied to develop nanoheaters, nanoreactors, or to induce a controlled drug release that will offer novel and personalized tools for therapy and imaging
