Dr. Duarte, ICIQ MSCA PF, made an oral contribution entitled, “De novo proteins as scaffolds for bioinspired light-converting complexes.” to present the latest findings of his project: deBioLed. This project explores an innovative approach to create efficient, eco-friendly OLEDs using bioinspired CCLs. By engineering intricate photophysical phenomena within de novo proteins, Dr. Duarte is contributing to a greener and more sustainable lighting technology.
