As a nice New Year’s gift, our article about Amyloid-β adsorbed at the ITIES was published in ACS Electrochemistry. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of two different peptides, Aβ(1-16) and Aβ(4-16), at the liquid|liquid interface. There are many publication describing the adsorption of proteins at the ITIES (e.g. […]

We are very happy to welcome Ketley Caroline Rocha Pereira to our group. Ketley joins the Warsaw4PhD doctoral school in our new Opus project. She will be working together with Natalia to develop sensors for biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases. Ketley joins us from Brazil, where she studied at the Mackenzie Presbyterian […]
The follow-up to Julia’s previous publication on assisted ion transfer at the three-phase junction was a long time coming. As in the previous paper, we used a squaramide-based ionophore to help transferring hydrophilic ions across the interface between to immiscible liquids, but here, the ionophore was functionalised with a ferrocene […]
The story of spectroelectrochemistry continues… It took a year, but here it is – the second paper by Magda in collaboration with Professor Álvaro Colina’s research group! The sheer amount of data and the depth of analysis required a lot of time and effort, but it was absolutely worth it. […]
We are very happy to welcome Natalia Ostrowska as a new member of the group. Before arriving to our group, Natalia studied for a Master’s degree in Applied Chemistry at the University of Warsaw. Her master thesis concerned the development of a microfluidic bioreactor based on the Lab-on-a-Foil principle. This […]
A second paper involving our group was just accepted in the Festschrift of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Frank Marken from the University of Bath. This is an article by our collaborators in the Surface Nanoengineering Group, where Kasia was leading the work of […]
We are happy that we just published a new paper in a special issue of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. Frank Marken from the University of Bath. The special issue is edited by Frank’s former supervisor, the legendary Prof. Richard G. Compton, […]
In a recently published paper in Electrochimica Acta, Julia presents the results of her investigations of two new squaramide-based ion-pair receptors for ion transfer at a three-phase electrode. The compounds, which were synthesised by colleagues from Warsaw University had previously been used to transfer hydrophilic ions across a liquid-liquid interface, […]
Conference trips can bring new collaborations, especially when you are open to discussions and meeting new people (read scientists). At the 2nd French-Polish Chemistry Congress held in 2023, Martin heard Magdalena Rowińska-Żyrek give a talk on the antimicrobial properties of Zn- and Cu-complexes with peptides from shrimp and this meeting […]
The year started with the publication of an article in J. Phys. Chem. C on propagating plasmons in silver nanowires. This work in yet another in the series of articles on silver nanostructures and plasmons run by our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering group and the Maćkowski group in Toruń. In this work, it was […]
