Dr. Igor L. Medintz obtained his B.S. and M.S in Forensic Science, followed by a Ph.D. degree in Molecular Biology in 1998 at the City University of New York. He carried out research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California Berkeley as well as at U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C. Since 2004, he has been a Research Biologist at NRL where he focuses on developing chemistries to interface nanomaterials with biology and understanding how nanoparticles engage in different types of energy transfer. Professor Niko Hildebrandt obtained a Diploma in Medical Physics in 2001 at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin and a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry in 2007 at the University of Potsdam, where he also carried out postdoctoral research until 2008. From 2008 to 2010 he was head of the group Nano Poly Photonics at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research in Potsdam. Since 2010 he has been Full Professor at Université Paris-Sud, where he is leading the group of Nano Bio Photonics (www.nbp.ief.u-psud.fr) at the Institut d’Electronique Fondamentale with a research focus on time-resolved FRET spectroscopy and imaging for multiplexed nanobiosensing.
