The next paper in Magda’s series of articles on the redox behaviour of β-amyloids relevant for Alzheimer’s disease has just hit the press. Here we have been looking at how the presence of a redox-active amino acid, tyrosine (Tyr), affects the oxidation of a Cu(II) attached to the amino terminus […]

In a promising start to the year, Magdalena embarked on a 6-month research internship in Spain. Her destination: the University of Burgos, where she would delve into the fascinating intersection of electrochemical measurements and spectroscopic techniques. Magdalena’s passion for combining these fields led her to join the research group of Professor Alvaro Conlia, a renowned expert in spectroelectrochemical […]
Our conference post from last year was updated with a few photos.
UPDATED: Where were we last year… Conference season is upon us and some of us (Bren… looking at you) have already had their share of conferencing. Below is a list, that will be updated as we go, on where you can meet us during the year. When Where Who Title […]
Sometimes publishing doesn’t go according to plan…. Our newly published article in J. Electroanal. Chem. was supposed to have been published before the follow-up in ChemElectroChem. We thought it made sense to first study the shorter amyloid and then follow with a study of the longer one. Some review delays […]
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 […]
