Details on the network Nanotechnology of Clusters in Oxide Matrix:
The research activity is in the field of Nanotechnology (metal nanoclusters in oxide
matrix, self-organised semiconductor nanocrystallites in porous structures,
nanostructured ceramics, nanoscopic self-assembled structures) and nanoscience
(physical-chemical processes in self-organising nanosystems, structure and morphology
of nanomaterials, electronic excitations and magnetic interactions in nanostructures).
The research and integration activities are directed to the development of fundamental
knowledge on nanostructures making use of partners complementarities in scientific
research work, controlled processing of multifunctional materials for heterogeneous
catalysis, optoelectronic and photonic devices and spintronic technique, and efficient
input of actual topics to educational process.

Institute of Biochemistry is a State Research Institute, which has specialised in:
Research into biochemical and genetic principles of cell functioning (cell biology,
gene engineering, biocatalysis, bioenergetics, theoretical and practical
fundamentals of the biosensors and bioanalytical systems) and synthesis of the
biologically active compounds.
The nanotechnological activities at the Institute of Biochemistry are:
• Redox and/or biocatalytically active self-assembled monolayers (SAM)
• Enzymes for the SAM-based biosensors and other bioanalytical systems
• Enzyme-based electrochemical and optical biosensors
• Functionalized nanostructured amphiphilic aggregates (e. g., redact and
biocatalytically active bicontinuous reversed cubic phases of lipids)
Currently 41 people are involved in the field of nanotechnology.
