The SiNBioSys project focuses on developing silicon nanocrystals for optical imaging in biological applications. This technology aims to enhance imaging contrast and enable innovative diagnostic tools, particularly in cancer and neuroscience.
Optical imaging is a powerful tool for light-guided surgery and for the study of biological functions via dynamic visualization of processes in tissues and cells.
Most of optical imaging techniques utilise fluorescent probes that can suffer from low contrast, due to scattering of the excitation light, and low tissue penetration.
Silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs), developed within the ERC PhotoSi project, are a very promising alternative for this purpose: silicon is essentially non-toxic, easily avail…
