Short description of research profile

Our research includes two main fields of interest: research related to the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of bacterial infections as well as the application of modern tools of molecular biology in the study of stem cells, cancer, metabolic and infectious diseases. PDI is based on the concept that metabolically active cells, like bacteria, fungi accumulate a photosensitizer (PS), a small molecular compound, which is excited by visible light.
