Photoactive protein cage biohybrids for light-induced applications

Project Details

Description

PhotoCage aims to develop a set of high-end materials based on the encapsulation of highly-emitting fluorophores within protein cages. The core of this project lies in the thorough design, synthesis and study of organic molecules; and the study of the delicate interplay that governs their behavior in solution leading to enhanced properties and interaction with the media. Advanced properties, such as generation of singlet oxygen will obtained through chemical design. The fundamental knowledge generated will set a novel path towards multimodal and interdisciplinary compounds, with potential applications in a broad range of fields such as light emitting devices or nanomedicine.
