Research Highlight: Dr. Knežević at the 15th International Colloids Conference

Know4Nano Research Presented at the 15th International Colloids Conference

Dr. Nikola Ž. Knežević, Full Research Professor at the BioSense Institute, University of Novi Sad, presented recent Know4Nano-related research at the 15th International Colloids Conference, held from 7–10 June 2026 in Sitges, Spain.

His oral presentation, entitled “Porous Organosilica Nanoparticles for Applications in Two-Photon Imaging of Cancer”, showcased the potential of advanced porous organosilica nanomaterials for biomedical imaging applications. The research highlighted the design and functional properties of these nanostructured materials, with a particular focus on their use as fluorescent probes for two-photon imaging. The presented materials combine strong optical properties with high biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for future applications in bioimaging and nanomedicine.

The conference brought together leading researchers working in colloid and interface science, nanomaterials, biotechnology, and biomedical applications, providing an excellent platform for scientific exchange and dissemination of cutting-edge research results.

Dr. Knežević’s participation contributed to increasing the visibility of the Know4Nano project within the international scientific community and promoted discussions on the role of nanostructured materials in next-generation diagnostic and imaging technologies.

Researchers interested in learning more about this topic can explore the recently published article, “Porous Organosilica Nanoparticles Enable UV Blocking and Two-Photon Fluorescence Imaging”, which presents the development of multifunctional porous organosilica nanoparticles capable of both UV protection and two-photon fluorescence imaging.
