Dr. Yury Ryabchikov, a researcher from the HiLASE Centre, has been granted a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship in the framework of Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission. The main aim of his project entitled “LAser DEvelopment of Nanotools for quantum-based THERapy (LADENTHER)” is to explore laser-synthesized multi-component nanoparticles with novel properties activated by ultrafast mid-infrared laser as possible agents for bio-medical applications.
