Former NanoCarb ESRs Daniela Tomasino (RCSI), Ashfaq Ahmad (WAR), and Ruth M. Ferrando (UNIMI) jointly published on Polymer Chemistry a paper titled “Surface mannosylation of dispersion polymerisation derived nanoparticles by copper-mediated click chemistry“. The publication is available Open Access through this link: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2023/py/d3py01361h
The NanoCarb ESR Ashfaq Ahmad (University of Warwick, Gibson group) has co-authored a new paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). Biological and biomedical research involving growing bacteria can often become contaminated with bacteriophages, which causes significant down-time in research and industrial processes. This new research has found that a polymer can prevent these phage infections. … Read more
On 19-22 June 2023, NanoCarb was represented at the Nanomed Europe conference which took place in Liverpool, UK. The NanoCarb coordinator Marco Monopoli (RCSI) gave an overview of the scientific achievements of the NanoCarb project. Our ESR Alessia Pancaro (VITO) presented her work on lectin detection assays in a poster. The Nanomed Europe conference was … Read more
NanoCarb ESRs Jennifer (Mario Negri Institute), Tanja (CIC biomaGUNE), Eva and Marko (RCSI) co-authored a new paper on Nanoscale titled “Long-term retention of gold nanoparticles in the liver is not affected by their physicochemical characteristics“, available open access. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) show promise for healthcare applications, but their long-term toxicity remains uncertain. This collaborative effort … Read more
The NanoCarb ESRs Nicola Judge (RCSI, Heise group), Panagiotis Georgiou and Ashfaq Ahmad (University of Warwick, Gibson group) co-authored a new paper in Biomolecules showing that polyproline is a potent ice growth inhibitor at higher molecular weights and that it can bind and shape ice crystals. The paper can be found in Open Access on … Read more
Milan-based ESRs Patricia Perez Schmidt (CNR-SCITEC) and Ruth Mateu Ferrando (University of Milan) co-authored a paper in Angewandte Chemistry proposing a robust, fast and green synthetic route to produce ultrasmall glyco gold nanoparticles by an innovative photo-induced microfluidic approach. The publication is available Open Access on the journal’s website.
Our ESRs Ashfaq Ahmad and Panagiotis G. Georgiou, from the Gibson group at the University of Warwick have co-authored a paper published in RSC Nanoscale, on the biomolecular corona of glycosylated gold nanoparticles, in collaboration with ESR Alessia Pancaro from VITO. Upon exposure to biological fluids, the fouling of nanomaterial surfaces results in the non-specific capture of … Read more
In a collaborative effort with the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford and the company Iceni Glycosciences Ltd., the Gibson group from the University of Warwick, including our ESR Panagiotis G. Georgiou, just published their latest work in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s journal Chemical Society Reviews. Titled “Glycosylated gold nanoparticles in point of care diagnostics: from … Read more
NanoCarb early-stage researchers (ESRs) continue to disseminate their work through publications in peer-reviewed chemistry journals. In the journal Polymer Chemistry, Nicola Judge (ESR 2) from the Heise group at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland studied the influence of the block copolypeptide surfactant structure on the size of polypeptide nanoparticles obtained by mini emulsion … Read more
