Our research also focuses on designing environmentally-friendly processes for the synthesis of target molecules, including mechanochemical or sonochemical procedures. We design receptors primarily for spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric detection, and, thanks to our collaboration with teams working in electrochemistry, we are also investigating their application in voltammetric and potentiometric sensors.<br>We also have extensive experience in designing modern drug delivery systems based on modified graphene derivatives, cyclodextrins, and magnetic nanoparticles.<br>A sub-group of our team (Dr. <strong>Mariola Koszytkowska-Stawi\u0144ska<\/strong>, PhD DSc, and Dr. <strong>Ewa Mironiuk-Puchalska<\/strong>, PhD) is also investigating synthesis and biological applications of nucleotides, aminoacids and 5-fluorouracil derivatives, see: <a href=\"http:\/\/zcho.ch.pw.edu.pl\/skl_koszy.html\">http:\/\/zcho.ch.pw.edu.pl\/skl_koszy.html<\/a>..<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>Main collaborations:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>Prof. Hidehiro Sakura<\/strong>i, Osaka University, Japan \u2013 <strong>sumanene chemistry<\/strong><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chem.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp\/~sakurai-lab\/en\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.chem.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp\/~sakurai-lab\/en\/index.html<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>Prof. Anna M.
