New paper ‘Assisted delivery of anti-tumour platinum drugs using DNA-coiling gold nanoparticles bearing lumophores and intercalators: Towards a new generation of multimodal nanocarriers with enhanced action’ was accepted to Chemical Science. This work was done in a close collaboration with our colleagues from the School of Chemistry in Birmingham. Assisted delivery of anti-tumour platinum drugs […]
Karthik Sarigamala from IIT Bombay will be working with us until September, on a project around composite nanomaterials for energy storage!
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?
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.
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.
Adrian Fortuin joins our group as a research fellow.
“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!)
We welcome Nashwa Awais who starts her project in the group. She will work on the nanoparticles.
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.
They will works on the projects related to Machine Learning and Single-Molecule Detection…
