We kindly welcome Lauren Matthews and Chris Carpenter, who have joined the group for their final year projects this year! Lauren will work on a nanopore sensing project, while Chris will join a project on single-molecule charge transport and thermoelectrics.
After successful master project in our group, we are glad to welcome Chris Weaver who is joining us as PhD student.
Congratulations for receiving 3rd place award in the Metrohm Electrochemistry Game Challenge at 70th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry, held in Durban, South Africa, August 4-9, 2019.
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.
