We are excited to share that Danica and Fabián have been awarded a grant from the Christian Doppler Research Association’s Transfer.Science to Spin-off program – an initiative focused on advancing innovative research projects toward commercialization. The project “watER dyes – The hydrothermal synthesis of fluorescent dyes” focuses on a new class of fluorescent dyes, which are synthesized hydrothermally using only hot water – a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly process. These next-generation dyes show high specificity for cellular structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lipid vesicles, opening new possibilities for live-cell imaging, diagnostics, and organoid research. Congratulations to the team and we wish you all the best with this new endeavour.
