Talk
Information
In this seminar, we will introduce some carbon
based fluorescent materials, including carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), organic
nanoparticles (ONPs) and organic/inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, and
investigate their applications in biomedicine and biosensing.
1. We designed and synthesized a series of
fluorescent molecules which contain 3-phenyl-subsituted polythiophene as the
fluorescent chromophore and special molecular recognizing groups in the
conjugated backbone as the receptor. These probes were successfully applied in
the detection of several important biological molecules, such as
lipopolysaccharide, lysophosphatidic acid and antibiotics.
2. By using different carbon sources, we
synthesized CNPs with tunable fluorescence from blue to near infrared emission.
We explored the effects of doping on the photophysical and photochemical
properties of CNPs, including their capability in generating ROS and/or
photothermal effect, and evaluated their performance in biosensing, bioimaging,
phototherapy through in vitro and in vivo experiments.
