Pr. Ewen Bodio<\/strong> is a Professor of Molecular and Bioinorganic Chemistry at the CEISAM Laboratory at Nantes University and junior member of IUF. His research focuses on the design of metal complexes and fluorescent molecules, with applications in medical imaging and therapy. These applications range from diagnostics of various diseases to monitoring chemotherapy and developing photo-activatable treatments, themes he began exploring during his tenure at ICMUB in Dijon. Pr. Bodio is advancing research on the development of near-infrared-emitting molecular probes. These probes are designed to make tumors fluorescent, thereby significantly aiding surgeons by making it easier to visualize malignant tissues. This innovation is expected to considerably reduce cancer-related side effects and recurrences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Stefan Meskers<\/strong> is associate professor in the Molecular Materials and Nanosystems group at Endhoven University of Technology. He studied Chemistry at Leiden University where he obtained his MSc degree in 1992. In 1997, he obtained his PhD at the same university under supervision of Harry Dekkers with his thesis on spectroscopy with circularly polarized light to probe binding of small chiral molecules to proteins. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles with Prof. Jean-Marie Ruysschaert for the remainder of the year, after which he moved to Eindhoven University of Technology (TU\/e) for a postdoc project with professors Bert Meijer and Joachim Wolter. In 1999 and 2001 he was a postdoc at the Philipps Universit\u00e4t Marburg (Germany) with Heinz B\u00e4\u00dfler, where he became deeply interested in the optical properties of molecular semiconductors and organic electronics. In 2001 he returned to TU\/e to work at the Laboratory of Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry of Prof. Ren\u00e9 Janssen, on a postdoctoral fellowship from the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2003 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the same group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dr. Ren\u00e9 M. Williams<\/strong> is an Associate Professor in the Molecular Photonics group at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) at the University of Amsterdam, where he obtained his PhD in 1996, focusing on fullerenes and electron transfer. He pursued postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute in M\u00fclheim and Columbia University, studying opto-acoustics and triplet sensitization. His research explores light-matter interactions in photoactivated (nano)hybrid materials for energy and healthcare applications, focusing on photoinduced electron and energy transfer in molecular, supramolecular, and nanosystems. He works on thin-film solar cells, perovskite doping, and near-infrared-activated photodynamic therapy materials for cancer treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
