In the Applied Photochemistry Group, led by Prof. Joanna Ortyl, we are concerned not only on photochemistry and photopolymerization, but also on cell biology! Recently, in cooperation with the Jagiellonian University, we have developed completely new, selective and sensitive biosensors for lung cancer cell imaging and iron ion detection! The result of this is the latest paper entitled “Pyridine derivatives as candidates for selective and sensitive fluorescent biosensors for lung cancer cell imaging and iron ions detection". The article was written by a multi-member team including:
