Collaborations

• The aim of joint complementary theoretical (Croatia) and experimental (University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France) collaboration is to design, characterize and prepare low nuclearity liganded noble metal nanoclusters with substantially improved absorption/emission properties required for superior biosensing performance. Due to the quantum confinement effects such ligand protected small nanoclusters exhibit unique optical properties, both linear and nonlinear. This research will serve in medical diagnostics for detection of inflammatory diseases and identification of different protein modifications.
