The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded the University of Puerto Rico in Ponce $248,193 on August 15, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to acquire an integrated spectrofluorometry-microscopy system (FS5) for fluorescence analysis research and education. The FS5 system will support multiple interdisciplinary research projects in biomedical sciences, environmental toxicology, and health-related research. Dr. Bailon-Ruiz will use the instrument's fluorescence lifetime capabilities to measure photoluminescence shifts, dynamic quenching, and Forster resonance energy transfer interactions in quantum dot-based fluorescent nanosensors for detecting inorganic contaminants associated with cancer and chronic diseases. Dr. Alamo-Nole will employ real-time fluorescence tracking, spectral mapping, and reactive oxygen species quantification to investigate phototoxicity mechanisms of fluorescent nanomaterials in mammalian cells, yeast, and aquatic models, with applications to designing safer nanomaterials for biomedical imaging and therapeutics. The system's capabilities include steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved measurements via time-correlated single photon counting and multi-channel scaling, spectral mapping, fiber-optic coupling, and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. The instrument will be housed at the Department of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Puerto Rico in Ponce, a primarily undergraduate institution designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution.
