Research project title
Chip-based approaches for microscopy aimed at the localization of single cells with applications in the field of precision oncology and liquid biopsies.
Research project abstract
The practical implementation of liquid biopsies and their large-scale use in clinical practice demands, among other things, the development innovative optical microscopy techniques with resolution of the order of ten nanometers (nanoscopy).
Current optical nanoscopy techniques use a very complex microscope that generally includes several high-precision optical and laser sources for imaging and a simple slide to hold the biological sample.
The project aims at a paradigm shift in the field of microscopy, developing a complex but low-cost fabricable optical chip that houses the sample to be analyzed and includes suitable guiding structures to convey the light coming from the illumination source.
The scientific starting point consists of these papers:
