Research
Research on bio-organic chemistry is carried out to produce luminescent reporter molecules. Molecules are suitable to be used as reporters in variety of biochemical applications. Currently, our research focuses on two main areas: new lanthanide chelates with high luminescence yield and stability, and development of on-off switches based on luminescence modulations of lanthanide chelates.
