Ivan and Ines are doing their PhD as part of a European Initial Training Network (Marie Curie Actions) called SMARTNET (Soft Materials Advanced Training NETwork). Within the SMARTNET they collaborate with five academic and two industrial partners from UK, the Netherlands, France and Spain. The aim is to improve the training of early state researchers […]
In February, Gary hit the USA for a 2-month placement in the new Nano science labs within the Advanced Scientific Research Center (ASRC) in New York. As a new state of the art facility, it allows for groundbreaking research in a variety of different fields. Gary was present as a guest of his supervisor Rein […]
The Nanopeptide 2015 International Meeting was held from the 2nd to the 4th March at the University of Strathclyde, more specifically in the most recent building Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC). It was a very interesting event on Materials science, soft matter physics, biophysics and chemistry through to biomedical applications of peptide & protein biomaterials. […]
Our recent work with the Ulijn groups on the use of computational methods to reduce the search space for new tripeptide hydrogelators has been featured on the cover of nature chemistry and has been the topic of a Nature Chemistry News and Views piece by Ehud Gazit. Peptides are the building blocks of living […]
