Participation in Working Groups

  • WG1 - Biophysics of cell and tissue structure
  • WG3 - New methodologies to study mechanobiology of cells and tissues

Research Interests

• Mitochondrial metabolic state (by means of cell autofluorescence), aimed at study of mitochondrial networks (fission-fusion)
• 3D cultures (collagen, matrigel) – aimed at study of cell-cell interactions (for investigation of tumours, photodynamic therapy) in the close-to-natural environment
• Biopolymeric scaffolds by 3D 2 photon photopolymerisation to control the above and propose most appropriate non-invasive sensors of mitochondrial/cellular state
• We also focus at advanced data analysis (spectral separation, image processing, 3D

Technologies offered to other EuroCellNet participants

As for set-ups, we are specialists in
• Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging
• Confocal spectroscopy imaging
• Light microscopy

We also have colleagues in our groups specialising in (and thus having setups on)
• In vivo imaging (in patients and in bird eggs)
• Raman microscopy
• superresolution
• 3D 2 photon photopolymerisation

Technologies sought from other EuroCellNet participants

fluorescence markers expressed by molecular biology in living cells and tissues

3D imaging and in vivo imaging
