WELCOME to the CCFT |
|---|
Our mission is to provide the expertise on fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy, and to promote fluorescence technologies.
The Center for Commercialization of Fluorescence Technologies (CCFT) is located in the Department of Molecular Biology and Immunology at the University of North Texas Health Science in Fort Worth, Texas.
The laboratories of Drs. Gryczynski (Fluorescence), Dr. Ben Harris (Protein Chemistry) and Dr. Julian Borejdo (Muscle Science) serve as the foundation of the CCFT.
The CCFT includes three spectroscopic laboratories, protein chemistry laboratory, peptide and organic chemistry laboratory, muscle research facility, surface preparation and chemistry preparation rooms, with a total area 3,200 sq. ft., plus 650 sq. ft. of faculty offices.
Research emphasis:
Optical and Quantum Processes to Study Biological System in Nanoscale: Proteins, DNA/RNA, Cells, Tissue
Spectroscopy and Fluorescence: Absorption (Spectra, Linear Dichroism); Fluorescence, Phosphorescence
Time-Resolved Spectroscopy: Time-Resolved Fluorescence and Phosphorescence; Excited State Processes
Molecular/Macro molecular Dynamics: Protein Dynamics; Protein Dissociation/Associatio; DNA/RNA
Multi-Photon Processes: Multi-Photon Induced Fluorecence (Two-Photon, Three-Photon, Four-Photon Excitation); Light Quenching by Stimulated Emission; Two-Pulse Fluorescence
Imaging: Cell; Tissue
Fluorescence Based Sensing: Novel Sensing; Enhanced Immunoassays
Nanotechnology and Plasmonics: Metal Enhanced Fluorescence; Surface Plasmon Coupled Emission; Surface Plasmon Assisted Microscopy
