Metabolic Imaging & Tissue engineering Group News

Dr. Irina Okkelman's work at the Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC) / UCC has been acknowledged by the 'Best publication award in 2018' prize. For this contest, Irina submitted our recent work on the design of cellulose-based biosensor scaffolds for imaging of various tissue-engineered constructs ( O'Donnell et al, Acta Biomaterialia, 2018 ).  The award ceremony was held on 21-Mar-2019 in Aula Maxima, University College Cork.

Since June-2019 our blog will mainly focus on the research activity of Dr. Ruslan Dmitriev's group. If you are interested in research activity of Prof. Dmitri Papkovsky (Laboratory of Biophysics and Bionalalysis, University College Cork), please visit his official webpage: http://publish.ucc.ie/researchprofiles/D003/dpapkovsky

Dr. R. Dmitriev organised, chaired and gave an invited talk at the Sechenov Biomedical Summit 2019 conference. His section 'Functional imaging in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine' gathered world-known experts in the areas of intestinal organoid and stem cell niche metabolism, non-invasive imaging in tissue engineering and development of novel fluorescent protein-based biosensors. Dr. Dmitriev's talk was on visualization of stem cell niche by the fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).
