abstract = "Semiconductor luminescent Quantum Dots (QDs) constitute a growing area of research for biological imaging and other biomedical applications. One of the main challenges is to provide QDs with a biocompatible and easy to functionalize surface while retaining the core optical properties. Gelatine is an excellent candidate for that purpose as it is a very common natural polymer, highly biocompatible and bearing various functional groups. Here we present a simple, one-pot method for manufacturing gelatinated QDs with chosen optical properties.",
