Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a form of new dosage form for delivering drugs, including anticancer agents and vaccines. A highly controlled production system is needed to produce high quality LNPs, and the existing production systems suffer from a few drawbacks, such as lack of variable control and automated functions. Dionamix will employ their technologies and […]

This study aims to propose a way to indirectly measure indoor fungi, which are known to be the causes of environmental diseases obtained in indoor life. For this purpose, MOFs-based multi-modal sensors for mVOCs will be developed, and machine learning algorithms to distinguish between general chemicals and mVOCs will be established. The detailed research plan […]

This program will focus on the detailed characterization of the luminescence of a series of next-generation doped phosphors for lighting applications. These narrow-band-emitting, high-efficiency phosphors have demonstrated outstanding potential for use in phosphor-converted light emitting diodes. This technology is poised to replace traditional incandescent lights and it is expected to lead to an outstanding reduction […]

My doctoral research work is based on the optoelectronic, and transport properties of layered two-dimensional (2D) and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials-based devices. Currently I am fabricating devices and studying their electron transport properties. The next target, to characterize the heat transportation in these devices, can’t be completed at my home institution because it requires […]

Recently, bio-sensing R&D using plasmonic has been actively carried out in Korea and overseas. The global bio-sensing market is projected to grow rapidly by an average of 11.6% per year, with a high potential for future development and increased demand in the field. Helical nanostructure using magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit signals in visible light regions such […]

Iron-based nanoparticles can not only be used in sensitizers or absorbers but also retain excellent electrical conductivity, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. So far, very few synthetic methods are known to implement stable Iron-based nanomaterials. We propose to develop novel synthesis routes to produce QDs. In addition, we plan to develop surface modification processes to […]

Avec l’augmentation du nombre de personnes sur Terre et du vieillissement dans le monde, les maladies oculaires deviennent des enjeux économiques et sociétaux. De nombreuses recherches sont en cours pour développer des vecteurs de médicament mucoadhésifs pour ces maladies afin d’améliorer l’administration des médicaments dans les gouttes ophtalmiques. Cependant, chaque individu possède une composition en […]

The global burden of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing as it has become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the fifth most common cancer worldwide. HCC is heterogenous, arising in the setting of various chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and cirrhosis. Patients with cirrhosis who develop cancer […]

Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA offer exceptional opportunities to fight against infectious and genetic diseases. To use nucleic acids effectively in a clinical setting, one needs to use effective delivery vehicles that can deliver the nucleic acids into the diseased cells. This project will develop effective delivery systems for this purpose. The delivery […]

This is a partnership between ABB, an international leader in water quality monitoring, and McGill University, where the objective is to test the reliability of an emerging technology in ion concentration measurement. The technology combines state-of-the-art electronics, composed of the atomically thin material graphene, and ionsensitive polymers, developed in the research group of Prof. Szkopek […]

In the frame of this research project, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles will be synthesized that are able to convert low- to high-energy light in a process called upconversion. Given their outstanding optical properties, these upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising candidates for applications ranging from biomedicine to optoelectronics and the energy sector. We will combine UCNPs with monolayers […]
