My US trip has come to an end with an amazing visit to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine hosted by my favorite AptaFriend Netz Lab @ Hopkins. Thank you for letting me share my work with your community, eat amazing Baltimore food and wine, and nerd out about aptamers! 🧬🍷

The CHEMINA welcomes Maïlys Bayer for her master’s thesis! With a strong interest in bridging the gap between nanoscience and neuroscience, she is working on integrating aptamers into an optical biosensor, focal molography, to detect small molecules in complex media!

A beautiful day for an outdoor lunch with the CHEMINA to celebrate birthdays! Super impressed with the spread of homemade goods from Spanish empanadas, Chinese chicken salad, Belgian peach-tuna special, US pound cake, and French crepes - the pro of an international team!🥰☀️
