Applications are the development of for example multimodal diagnostic and theragnostic agents, and the fabrication of microfluidic sensing systems based on optical/fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy.

The main research topics within the Laboratory of BioNanoTechnology are:

• Complex Coacervate Core Micelles, Dendrimicelles, and Dendroids

• Micro/Nano-NMR/MRI and Hardware development

• Supramolecular interactions in solution and on surfaces

• Open Technology

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• Metal Complexes for Catalysis
