Welcome Karthik!
Karthik Sarigamala from IIT Bombay will be working with us until September, on a project around composite nanomaterials for energy storage!
“Rapid fragmentation during seeded lysozyme aggregation revealed at the single molecule level”
What it says on the tin… joint work with Marina Kuimova and Joshua Edel from Imperial College on lysozyme aggregation and seeding, published in Analytical Chemistry. Could this hold the key to explain how protein aggregates spread in the body?
An analytical perspective on nanopore sensing!
Here is our latest review on nanopore (‘resistive pulse’) sensing, published in Annual Reviews of Analytical Chemistry. It is written from an analytical and applied perspective, because we feel this is an important direction of travel for the field.
New paper in Organometallics
Joint with Nick Long (Imperial) and Konrad Kowalski (Lodz), we show how a ferrocene alkanethiol can lose the thiol group when in contact with gold. So no stable bonding! The result is an unsaturated molecular product – quite unexpected. To the paper.
Welcome Adrian
Adrian Fortuin joins our group as a research fellow.
New paper accepted in Analytical Chemistry!
“Electric Single-Molecule Hybridization Detector for Short DNA Fragments”, https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.analchem.8b04357 (still with the Imperial crowd!)
Welcome Nashwa
We welcome Nashwa Awais who starts her project in the group. She will work on the nanoparticles.
Welcome Oliver
We are pleased to welcome Oliver Irving as a new member in our group. Oliver will work on a project around nanopore/pipette sensing for disease diagnostics/monitoring and sepsis in particular.
Welcome Chris Weaver and Luke Earnshaw, both joining the group for their Masters projects!
They will works on the projects related to Machine Learning and Single-Molecule Detection…
Welcome to Wesley Flavell who will start his PhD in October!
In his project, we will look at programmed self-assembly, in collaboration with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti at UoB!
