Vivid and successful research is based on creativity and strong and respectful cooperation among different disciplines and persons. In our lab and in collaboration with our various partners from academia and the industry we follow this approach to successfully bring the initial idea to a successful result.

Our research approach combines:
- Material development and optimization (e.g., nanoparticles, quantum dots, lanthanides, dyes)
- Controlled bioconjugation (e.g., antibodies, peptides, proteins, nucleic acids)
- Biological and photophysical characterization (e.g., biofunctionality, optical spectroscopy and microscopy)
- Integration into biological systems (e.g., immunoassays, nucleic acid sensors, cellular analysis)
- Optimization for real-life biosensing (e.g., clinical diagnostics, nanomedicine)
