The team of Professor Dmitry Gorin has developed strong collaboration in biophotonics with the laboratory headed by Professor Youngfeng from Fudan University. They are working together in a joint BRICS project devoted to developing new multimodal contrast agents that can be used for Ultrasound, MRI, and also optoacoustic and fluorescent imaging systems but this type of agents is multifunctional and therefore will be considered as therapeutic agents. Our colleagues have already published 4 joint articles in international journals like Advanced Materials, Nanomaterials, Micromachines, etc. And this was a good starting point to sign MoU between Skoltech and Fudan University, which ranks 31st in QS worldwide ranking!
