On the 2nd of October 2024, a meeting of the SGR group Photo- and electroresponsive micro- and nanostructured functional materials (PERMINAMAT) took place at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the University of Barcelona.
During the meeting, several members of the SGR group presented their research: Sara Battista, Giulia Pancotti, and Pankaj Bharmoria from ICMAB-CSIC, Ferran Pujol from CNM-CSIC, and Kavya Anguluri, Aysha Fasna, and Ruxin Li from our SSN group.
Saman Bagherpour graduated with a B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran, and an M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran, where his research focused on the synthesis and functionalization of metal-oxide nanoparticles. His PhD research carried out in our group focused on the design and synthesis of fluorescent molecules, particularly the BODIPY scaffold, and the functionalization of nanoparticles and microchips using these synthesized molecules for the detection of intracellular biomolecules. He was also working on the synthesis of amphiphilic fluorescent molecules for bioimaging applications. Currently, he continues with these research topics as a postdoctoral researcher.
