ABOUT US

The main focus of our research group is the use of nanosized materials and their application in life science, including but not limited to cancer therapy or contrast agents for non-invasive imaging. More detailed information concerning our research can be found on the page Research.

These non-invasive imaging techniques make use of fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging in small animal models, or image-based flow cytometry for detection of rare samples (e.g. circulating cancer cells, exosomes). For more information, go to Research Tools.
