February 2017 : The ​Jan Kornelis de Cock-Foundation has awarded Kiran with a grant to finance part of her research. Kiran won the price with the project "Oxidative stress response to diamond internalisation

in yeast cells". In this study, she will investigate metabolic changes in yeast cells when they are exposed to nanodiamonds.

Nanodiamonds as labels for integrated microscopy

Integrated microscopy combines electron microscopy (EM) with light microscopy. However, conventional dyes bleach during the sample preparation for EM. NV centers in diamond, however, are protected within the lattice and thus remain fluorescent. As a result one can at the same time label cells optically and investigate the membrane structure. We can learn from this were diamond particles are within cells.
