معرفی
Valeriia Andreeva is a Guest Researcher at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC), part of Leiden University's Faculty of Science. She specializes in the development of molecular sensors using triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) for applications in calcium ion detection and cardiovascular disease monitoring. Her work integrates photochemistry, materials science, and biomedical diagnostics.
- Affiliations: Metals in Catalysis, Biomimetics & Inorganic Materials group at LIC
- Education: PhD in Chemistry (2024, Leiden University)
- Funding: Horizon 2020 Grant (H2020) #813920
Research Focus: Design of calcium-sensitive systems via TTA-UC for intracellular imaging, lipid bilayer interactions in sensor systems, and structure-activity relationships in perylene-based annihilators. Her studies aim to address limitations in tissue imaging caused by light penetration and autofluorescence.
Advising & Grants: Advised by Prof. Serge A. Bonnet and Prof. Erik Bouwman. Her doctoral thesis explores molecular sensors for calcium detection, supported by EU Horizon funding.
Labs/Teams: Collaborations within the LIC's biomimetic and materials chemistry teams, focusing on translational applications in cardiovascular diagnostics.
