Retinol encapsulation
Retinol (Vitamin A) is an autofluorescent molecule that is widely used in cosmetics. Its fluorescence intensity may be used to gauge its stability in different preparations, and its fluorescence lifetime […]
Bacterial encapsulation
Probiotic bacteria are useful for health in many applications, but the challenge is keeping them alive, especially in a shelf-stable product. The goal of this project is to encapsulate bacteria [...]
Lifetime Spectroscopy
Using frequency-domain lifetime spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, we are examining the ability of retinol to probe lipid microenvironments. These measurements allow us to evaluate the positioning of the [...]
