In particular, we are interested in harnessing the light from these nanoparticles to trigger other light activated modalities for application in:Thermal sensing and nanothermometryUpconversion, multiphoton, and near-infrared bioimagingControlled drug releasePhotodynamic therapyPhotothermal therapyBiosensingAnd more\u2026\u00a0To add further \u201cfunctionalitiy\u201d to these nanoparticles, we are developing new hybrid and composite nanosystems composed of the rational combination of rare earth nanoparticles with other optically stimulated nanomaterials such as semiconductor quantum dots, plasmonic nanostructures, metal oxides, etc.\u00a0Our laboratory is fully equipped to study all aspects from the synthesis of new nanoparticles\/architectures, the study of their fundamental photophysics, to their integration into multimodal nanoplatforms.\u00a0\u00a0Some helpful links:Google Scholar (Link)ResearcherID (Link)ORCID (Link)\u00a0\u00a0Functions and biography\u00a0Professor Vetrone received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Concordia University followed by postdoctoral fellowships funded by the Royal Society (UK) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada. He was appointed Assistant Professor of Nanobiotechnology at Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre \u00c9nergie, Mat\u00e9riaux et T\u00e9l\u00e9communications (INRS-EMT) in October 2010 and promoted to Associate Professor in June 2015. He was hired to develop an ambitious and vigorous research programme at the vanguard of nanomaterials research and their implementation in the life sciences and nanomedicine. The overarching theme of his research group is to develop multifunctional nanoplatforms, excited by near-infrared light, to simultaneously trigger other light activated modalities.\u00a0\u00a0Professor Vetrone is a pioneer in the field of rare earth doped upconverting nanoparticles, publishing the first paper in the field in the year\u00a02000. He has published ~100 papers in prestigious, high impact, peer-reviewed publications such as Journal of the American Chemical Society,\u00a0Nano Letters,\u00a0ACS Nano,\u00a0Chemistry of Materials,\u00a0Advanced Materials,\u00a0Advanced Functional Materials,\u00a0Nanoscale,\u00a0Science, etc. with a number of ISI Highly Cited Papers. He has given over 100 invited lectures at prestigious conferences, universities and summer schools around the world. Moreover, he has won a number of prestigious awards from NSERC, IUPAC, the Royal Society (UK), ASM International, Provinces of Benevento (Italy) and Shandong (China), etc. and has been elected as a member of the\u00a0Global Young Academy.\u00a0\u00a0Chairs, groups and networks\u00a0\u00a0(1) Regroupements strat\u00e9giques, Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 Nature et technologies (FRQNT)Centre for Self-Assembled Chemical Structures (CSACS)\/Centre de Recherche sur les Mat\u00e9riaux Auto-Assembl\u00e9s (CRMAA)Plasma Qu\u00e9becQu\u00e9bec Centre for Advanced Materials (QCAM)\/Centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois sur les mat\u00e9riaux fonctionnels (CQMF)\u00a0\u00a0(2) Networks of Centres of Excellence of CanadaCanadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI)\/Institut canadien pour les innovations en photonique (ICIP)\u00a0\u00a0(1) Regroupements strat\u00e9giques, Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 Nature et technologies (FRQNT)Centre for Self-Assembled Chemical Structures (CSACS)\/Centre de Recherche sur les Mat\u00e9riaux Auto-Assembl\u00e9s (CRMAA)Plasma Qu\u00e9becQu\u00e9bec Centre for Advanced Materials (QCAM)\/Centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois sur les mat\u00e9riaux fonctionnels (CQMF)\u00a0\u00a0(2) Networks of Centres of Excellence of CanadaCanadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI)\/Institut canadien pour les innovations en photonique (ICIP)"}
