Emila and Martin are guest-editing a special issue of Chemosensors focussed on “Paper-Based Sensors and Microfluidic Devices”. This is of course due to Emilia’s expertise in the field, but maybe also because of the review we recently wrote in ChemElectroChem. The special issue already has its own web address and […]

More β-amyloid news! Magdalena got a small grant (Miniatura) to conduct research focused on a selected group of N-terminal β-amyloids, which differ significantly in the way of coordinating copper (II) ions. What are β-amyloids? According to one of the most popular theories they are peptides responsible for the development of […]
Huge congratulations to Magdalena who passed her PhD defence yesterday! As we are still in the middle of the pandemic, the defence was held online, which really is not the same as a real proper in-person event. But Magdalena passed her Zoom-defence with flying colours and gave good answers to […]
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. The first time it was described 100 years ago; however, up to now, it is mysterious. According to the most accepted theory, development of this disease is connected to the interactions of copper ions with peptides called beta-amyloids. The […]
After a long haul, our paper describing three-phase experiments with a new hydrophobic Ru-complex redox-probe was finally published in Electrochimica Acta. This work is a collaboration between our group and Prof. Masa-Aki Haga’s at Chuo University in Tokyo. About two years ago Haga visited our institute and gave a talk, […]
