""Fingerprints"" of quantum dots for analytical and bioanalytical purposes. The subject of the PhD thesis is related to the use of nanomaterials - quantum dots - to create fluorescent ""fingerprints"" for the identification / determination of selected bioanalytes with a similar structure: amino acids, oligopeptides, neurotransmitters, hormones, nucleosides, and metabolites. Recognition by means of a unique pattern hidden in such a ""fingerprint"" is an alternative to classical molecular recognition based on the principle of lock and key and requires the desired information to be decoded using numerical methods. The aim of the doctorate will be to design, develop and determine the analytical capabilities of quantum dot arrays that have the potential to create useful bioanalytical tools. The proposed methodology has great potential as a quick, universal, easy-to-perform test that can be used in medical diagnostics, systems biology, proteomics and metabolomics studies.
