Within her SONATINA grant, Magda is conducting research on a new potential therapeutic molecule: TDMQ20. In our previous posts, we described her electrochemical studies, which helped better understand the redox properties of TDMQ20 itself and its complexes with copper ions (Cu(II)). The next stage of the project focused on investigating the extent […]

A little late update, but at the end of last year a press note was published by our Institute highlighting Magda’s work on the electrochemical properties of TDMQ20, a molecule that has been proposed as a potential drug for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The press note concerns the two papers […]
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 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, […]
Collaboration is extremely important to us. Gaining new knowledge, both practical and theoretical, is also extremely important. For this reason, Magda went on a 6-month internship to Professor Alvaro Colina’s group in Burgos, Spain. The cooperation turned out to be very successful because shortly after her return our first article […]
The conference season has already started. Our long-time student intern Natalia participated in the “I Warszawskie Sympozjum Chemiczne ‘W probUWce’” at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw. This is a conference organised by the student science club ProbUWka. Natalia won the audience award for her poster entitled […]
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 […]
