Research Topic

Marina Mutas is investigating the specific interaction of nanoparticles with cells. At the moment she is analyzing the internalization of fluorescent gold nanocluster on/in cells with fluorescence lifetime imaging. The gold nanocluster show a longer fluorescence lifetime in comparison to the autofluorescence of the cell.

Current subprojects

• FLIM of gold nanocluster with suspension/adherent cells
• FLIM with gold nanoparticle with suspension/adherent cells
• Growing cells in flow channels and visualize the uptake of gold nanoparticles spectroscopically
