📑Please check this Special Issue edited by Diana Rafael and Fernanda Andrade from our group!! It is now OPEN for submissions!! I hope it is of interest to you! 💊

Our review on growing polymer brushes from NPs to modulate their interactions with proteins is out now in Langmuir as part of a special issue dedicated to Prof. Spencer! Check it out 👇 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… and congrats Carlos Pavón on your 1st paper! More to come...

Yuwen, Carlos and Alessio presented their work with posters and flash presentations

Happy to share in J. Am. Chem. Soc. our findings on the impact of side-chain heterogeneity in PEG-based polymers on relevant interfacial properties like hydration, lubricity and protein fouling pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Congrats Carlos Pavón & Irene, and thanks Harm-Anton Klok, Soft Materials and Interfaces (Prof. Lucio Isa) & all!

And while some were having fun in Warwick, others were presenting at the PhD forum Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche - UniPD. Carlos gave a talk on structural dispersity of POEGMAs, Alberto had a poster on zwitterionic polymers, and Gian couldn't be (yet) in 2 places at the same time but his poster was there!

The DIRNANO MSCA-ITN project will end at the end of September. Therfore, we provide you with the last issue of the DIRNANO #newsletter with a project summary. Check it out here 🤗: dirnano.com/wp-content/upl… Find out more about it on the project website: dirnano.com

Today, together with Lara Cioni, we have presented our preliminary results on the assesment of dermal migration of plastic additives from consumer products, at the Barcelona Exposome Symposium.

Fernanda Raquel da Silva Andrade, IP del grup de Bioquímica Clínica, Vehiculització de Fàrmacs i Teràpia del #VHIR, explica un estudi per desenvolupar nanopartícules que travessin la barrera hematoencefàlica i permetin millorar el tractament del glioblastoma.

I am still overwhelmed by the great moment we lived yesterday at the La Caixa Fellowship Award Ceremony! Becas Fundación "la Caixa" Fundación ”la Caixa” Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca CIBER-BBN Nanbiosis ICTS Thank you for the way you make us feel so recognised.🥹💙 youtu.be/MKSppF5k5OM?si…

We're seeking a postdoc to apply for the DAAD PRIME fellowship (18 months: 12 in Padova with Prof. Francesca Lorandi , 6 in Darmstadt with me) to work on an interdisciplinary project combining polymer brush chemistry and engineered yeast cells for heavy metal remediation 🧵

Congrats to my dear friend Sara Cuadros Huertas, because she obtained the prestigious "Ramón y Cajal" fellowship!!🎉 This recognizes your excellent background, and I am sure you will make great achievements in your career!👩‍🔬You deserve this!
