Objective
The overarching scientific goal of the LIGHTSUPGEL study is to design and synthetize novel reversible photo-switchable azobenzene and bis(urea)-based supramolecular gels, and to develop a super-resolution microscopy-based methodology to visualize the self-assembly and disassembly process in real-time with the aim of unravelling their underlying mechanisms. The cutting-edge combination of super-resolution STED and FLIM microscopies, together with environment-sensitive fluorescent probes, will be employed to spatially controlled photo-switch the gelation and de-gelation, and for first time, simultaneously monitor the process with nanoscopic resolution. Furthermore, the application of this new knowledge and novel photo-switchable gels in gel-mediated drug crystallization, will be explored. The possibility of light-triggered drug crystal harvesting photo-switchable gels offers, will be the first ever described non-invasive and reversible method to harvest crystals from gels. This new technology will mean a huge advance in the field of gel-phase drug crystallization, bringing it closer to its industrialization. By completing this ambitious multidisciplinary work, the applicant will be in an excellent position to create cross-disciplinary collaborations with research groups and industry across Europe and to becoming an independent researcher himself.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
