TOPICS

The research activity of the FunNanoBio group is focused on the design and fabrication of novel nanostructured materials, mainly plasmonic, for a broad range of applications, including environmental sensing, biosensing, catalysis, imaging or theranostics.

RESEARCH TOPICS

Metal Nanoparticles fabrication

The control of the morphology and size of a certain material at the nanoscale is a hot topic because of the spectacular effects that small changes produce on their properties (optical, magnetic, electronic…)

Nanoparticles assembly

The applicability, versatility, and even certain properties of nanoparticles are enhanced through either their self-assembly or deposition on platforms (glass, beads, cellulose paper, hydrogels, polymer films, etc.)

Optical Properties

The group is very interested in study the optical properties of nanostructures when interacting with light from an experimental and theoretical point of view

Nanoparticles for catalysis

Metals at nanoscale exhibit enhanced catalytic properties. Importantly, many parameters such as nanoparticle shape and size can produce remarkable effects on their catalytic performance

(Bio)sensing, imaging, and diagnosis based on SERS and LSPR

In this research line, we develop and design plasmonic nanostructures for applications in high-throughput screening and/or real-time analysis

Contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

MRI is an important technique in diagnostic clinical imaging owing to its exceptional spatial and anatomical resolution
