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.
Our group is open to scientific cooperation, which always brings good results and sometime also good publications =). This time, scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology proposed a collaboration with Magda that resulted in a publication in Dyes and Pigments. The group from WUT is known for the synthesis […]
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting 25 young electrochemist at IChF for the third edition of the e-SPARK summer school. The school is the brainchild of Emilia, and she has written a long, nice post about it on her group webpage, so please go and read it there. […]
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 […]
Over the last year, Magda has been working with bachelor student Natalia to investigate the redox behaviour of different β-amyloids. In her recently published paper she demonstrates a significant difference in the redox behaviour of copper complexes with peptides associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is a neurodegenerative disorder and […]
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 […]
