Research of BioNanoTechnology
Research interests of the BioNT group range from dynamic supramolecular chemistry in solution and on surfaces, to biomedical use of nanomaterials and microfluidic technologies.
Applications are the development of for example multimodal diagnostic and theragnostic agents, and the fabrication of microfluidic sensing systems based on optical/fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy.
We have strong collaborations with the following groups and organizations:
- Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter (PCC), headed by Prof.Dr.Ir. Jasper van der Gucht
- Organic Chemistry (ORC), headed by Prof.Dr. Han (JT) Zuilhof
- Biobased Chemistry & Technology, headed by Prof.Dr. Harry (JH) Bitter
- Biophysics, headed by Prof.Dr. Herbert van Amerongen
- Interventional Molecular Imaging Laboratory (IMI), Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), The Netherlands, headed by Prof. Dr. Fijs (FWB) van Leeuwen.
- Microwave and Sustainable Organic Chemistry (MSOC), Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), Spain, headed by Prof.Dr. Antonio de la Hoz Ayuso.
- The Dutch NMR initiative (NMR-NL).
- The COmprehensive Analytical Science and Technology initiative (COAST).
