New Ph.D. from the lab!

Neil O'Donnell (supervised by Dr. R. Dmitriev and Prof. D. Papkovsky) has successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on 22-Jan-2019!


Neil's Ph.D. project ('New biosensors for metabolic imaging', 2014-2018) was funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) SIRG grant and focused on development, evaluation and application of biosensors, based on advanced coupling chemistry and various recombinant proteins.

Neil participated in the following projects:
1. Metallochelate coupling of Pt-porphyrins to peptides, proteins and self-assembling protein nanoparticles for advanced biosensing applications. Published in Bioconjugate Chemistry journal.
2. pH-sensitive fluorescent protein-based nanoparticles for imaging of cancer and neural cells (unpublished).
3. Book chapter on the available biosensors for imaging of 3D tissue models.
4. Cellulose-binding domain fused with fluorescent proteins as a tool for design of hybrid 'biosensing' scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Published in Acta Biomaterialia journal.

Congratulations to Neil and best of luck in future career!
