Biography

Sergei Vinogradov is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Biochemistry and Biophysics. His research primarily focuses on the development of advanced probes for microscopy imaging applications. His interests span fundamental chemistry phenomena involving porphyrins, pyrrolic dyes, and energy electron transfer in multichromophoric systems, as well as the spectroscopy and imaging techniques necessary for these studies. Over the past years, his laboratory has concentrated on optical imaging of oxygen in biological systems and on the chemistry involved in imaging probes and phosphorescence lifetime imaging instrumentation. He has implemented image reconstruction methods for various applications related to phosphorescence and bio-analytes, such as pH and metal ions. Currently, his lab is also exploring optical energy upconversion and the effects of magnetic fields on luminescence, with a focus on imaging applications. Moreover, Dr. Vinogradov collaborates extensively with laboratories around the world, extending his research interests to include basic studies of cellular metabolism and their applications in neuroscience, stem cell biology, cancer therapy, and tissue engineering in ophthalmology.
