RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

    

Biophotonics laboratory develops research in the following main areas:

  • Studies and modification of the optical and spectral characteristics of normal and pathological biological tissues.
  • Optical (fluorescence, diffuse reflectance, Raman, absorption, transmission) spectroscopy and microscopy of biological tissues for diagnostics of socially-significant (oncological, cardiovascular) diseases.
  • Polarimetry of histological samples for prospective and retrospective analysis of tumors.
  • Photodynamic and sono-dynamic medicine and its applications in the treatment of oncological and infectious diseases.
  • Studies of photo-hemo-dissociation processes in biological tissues. Control of the local tissue oxygenation in view of improving the therapeutic efficiency.
  • Development of novel photonic sensors based on plasmon nanostructures for detection and diagnostics of biologically-significant substances.
  • Development of optical and laser tools for diagnostics and therapy. Development of combined techniques for personalized theranostics, photo- and nano-medicine.
  • Measuring the free energy of surfaces, surface voltage of liquids by registering a static and dynamic contact angle with a set of liquids
  • Conducting experiments based on high -resolution spectroscopy in alkaline metals cuvettes through precise current and temperature control of diode lasers, in the conditions of compensated earth magnetic field
  • Evaluation of the influence of the inner surface of cuvettes with warm atomic vapors on the absorbent and fluorescent spectra of the nuclear ensemble
  • Exploring the properties of surfaces covered with compounds of organic molecules and metal nanoparticles

Biophotonics laboratory of IE-BAS is a coordinator of the project "National Center on Biomedical Photonics" (NCBP), funded by the Ministry of Education and Science within the updated Roadmap for Scientific Infrastructure of the Republic of Bulgaria for the period 2020 - 2027. For the new programming period, 12 new research infrastructures have been included, which have received the highest marks from an international panel of evaluators and have shown high potential for development, including the "National Center on Biomedical Photonics" (NCBP).

Aims of the project are achievement of high quality results in the research, development and introduction activities in the field of biophotonics, nano-biophotonics and photonic technologies, as well as activities related to the application of optoelectronic equipment and methods into clinical practice, the formation and development of laser and optoelectronic equipment consumption and related health services and training of highly specialized personnel.
