Official Announcement of SFI SIRG Award for Dr. Ruslan Dmitriev

By -

Tuesday 8th July 2014 – Minister for Research and Innovation, Mr Seán Sherlock, T.D. has today announced €23 million in new funding to help support 40 of Ireland’s most promising young research talent to become fully independent researchers. The funding which is being awarded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) will help ensure that Ireland’s most talented young researchers can be encouraged to remain in Ireland, while also helping to attract excellent young researchers from other countries to base themselves here. 
(From SFI website).

Dr. Dmitriev has secured funding for Starting Investigator Research Grant entitled "DEVELOPMENT OF BIONIC SENSOR MATERIALS FOR METABOLIC IMAGING IN
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE" (~500K, 2014-2018) which will fund him and one supervised PhD student under mentorship of Prof. D. Papkovsky.
The project is aiming at development and investigation of properties of advanced self-assembling biopolymer-based phosphorescent molecules for sensing O2, pH and related analytes in 3D cell models for regenerative medicine.

Affordable microscopy of spheroid oxygenation (video protocol)

Our lab has published a new protocol paper, this time with the video, in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)! In this research method paper, we report the use of red/ near-infrared emitting biocompatible nanosensors to monitor oxygenation of the live multicellular spheroids (made of one or more cell types), together with the tracers of cell death. While this methodology is typically available only for users with 'high-end' PLIM microscopes and alike, we show that using of ratiometric readout with the red and near infrared emitting fluorescent nanosensors makes this possible on broadly available 'widefield' fluorescence microscope platforms. This method helps comparing oxygenation of spheroids, assessing this in a long-term and kinetic assays, comparing their variability and viability, essential in follow-up 3D printing applications. This is the first article in our collection ' Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models' , guest-edited together with

Together with Prof. Margarida Barroso (Albany Medical College), we guest edit a collection of video protocols, hosted by the Journal of Visualised Experiments ( JoVE ), and  dedicated to the quantitative live cell imaging in 3D .  We expect bringing together some leaders and innovators in various aspects of the quantitative live fluorescence microscopies applied to ex vivo animal models, organoids and 3D engineered tissue blocks. The collection, which just has been started, can be assessed here .
