We are very happy that Magda got funding in the latest round of the Sonata programme from The National Science Centre Poland (NCN)! Within this grant, Magda will study the interaction of metal ions with mutants of β-amyloid peptides, associated with the familial form of Alzheimer’s disease, using a range […]

In the latest round of announcements from NCN we were delighted that Martin’s Opus application for creating new biosensors based on peptides was selected for financing. This project was written and will be executed in collaboration with Dr Katarzyna Szot-Karpińska from our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering Group. The scientific […]
We are very happy to see that our colleague Veronika got a grant from NCBR to continue her studies of manganese dioxide as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxidase detection. The project is an extension of the the UpTurn project under the Support for Ukrainian researchers under Bilateral Fund of ‘Applied […]
Another late announcement, but during the autumn Magda had a grant application approved for “Spectroelectrochemistry of Alzheimer’s disease – a study of a new potential therapeutic molecule”. In this project she will use spectroelectrochemical methods to study Cu(II)-β-amyloid complexes and the effect of copper(II) ion chelators, that can be potential […]
Martin just had a grant accepted from NCN for studying “Ion-transfer between immiscible liquids in a paper-based setup”. The project will continue the studies that were published in this paper. The main goal of the project is to investigate and try to overcome the factors limiting the sensitivity of paper-based […]
We are very happy that Emilia got funding for her project application to NCN for “Electrochemical analysis of neurobiologically relevant analytes”. She will be using micropipettes and -electrodes to simultaneously measure both dopamine and serotonin concentrations as well as the enzyme MMP-9 with the help of machine learning algorithms. The […]
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 […]
In a consortium together with the company redox.me, the Norwegian research institute SINTEF, and Robert Bogdanowicz’s group at Gdańsk University of Technology we submitted a project to the POLNOR call, financed by the EEA and Norway Grants through The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). The project, which is […]
This is a bit of a late update, but in the end of last year when the National Science Centre announced the results of the latest application round, a consortium grant lead by Mateusz Śmietana from Warsaw University of Technology was approved. Martin is one of three members of that […]
Congratulations to Emilia! A three-year grant for the development of a versatile platform which enables cell growth and electrochemical analysis in various point of the three dimensional culture was just accepted by the The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). This project envisages collaboration with the Nencki Institute of […]
