Functional Organic Materials
University of Turin
Welcome to the MOF Lab Home
Our research interests reside at the interface of synthetic organic chemistry, functional material and chemical biology applications. The key goals are to synthetize innovative dyes, fluorophores, functional small molecules and polymers for applications in energy related devices, catalysis, bioimaging and theranostics. The current projects are oriented towards the development of transparent organic solar cells, smart polymer-based materials, synthetic GFP analogues and near IR functional dyes for photodynamic therapy and biological processes and structures analysis.
