VLADIMIRS ZENKO

Vlad joined the lab as a BBSRC DTP PhD student after his MSci in Theoretical Astrophysics here at the University of Nottingham, which sparked his passion for all things living.

​

His research is at the intersection of quantum technologies and single molecule pharmacology, focusing on using NV nanodiamonds in tandem with quantum-enhanced optical systems for non-invasive, real-time, single-molecule imaging in complex biological media. This approach enables the detection of low-concentration paramagnetic biomarkers for genetic disorders and the study of GPCR conformational changes, offering insights into cellular energy transport.
