My research focuses on applications of multiphoton microscopy in the studies of skin, in particular the process of epidermal differentiation.
The aim of the doctoral project is to adopt a non-invasive approach by which multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPM) will be used to monitor organogenesis of in vitro skin in real-time. MPM together with its modalities, such as fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and spectral imaging, will be implemented to monitor tissue regeneration over time, and correlated with state-of-the-art biochemical analyses, enabling novel technology for non-invasive mechanistic studies. Ultimately the project will lead to novel approach for innovative tests related to organogenesis, drug delivery and transplantation.
