In the latest round of announcements from NCN we were delighted that Martin’s Opus application for creating new biosensors based on peptides was selected for financing. This project was written and will be executed in collaboration with Dr Katarzyna Szot-Karpińska from our neighbours in the Surface Nanoengineering Group. The scientific […]

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 […]
In March this year the president of Poland finally signed Martin’s application for a full professorship. The application was submitted to Rada Doskonałości Naukowej (the Council for Scientific Excellence) at the end of April 2023 (just before the rules, and forms, changed on May 1st). After getting five positive reviews, […]
We are very happy to see that our colleague Veronika got a grant from NCBR to continue her studies of manganese dioxide as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxidase detection. The project is an extension of the the UpTurn project under the Support for Ukrainian researchers under Bilateral Fund of ‘Applied […]
Bren was recently invited to give a talk about his work on “Electrochemical Strategy for Biomolecular Detection” during the recently concluded 2022 OneLab Research and Development Forum by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippines (DOST) OneLab Project, with the theme “Testing and Calibration Laboratories Leveling Up for Research […]
Emilia together with Wojtek Nogala and Aleksandra Kapuścińska-Bernatek after some struggle (the grant was first rejected and later accepted after appeal) got a grant to prepare 3 editions of summer school on practical aspects of electroanalysis During each edition 20 students from abroad and 5 students from Poland will visit our institute for a week […]
Our paper “Ion Transfer Voltammetry with an Electrochemical Pen” received a mention as one of the best publications from our institute during 2020. Good work everyone!
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 […]
Martin just had a grant accepted from NCN for studying “Ion-transfer between immiscible liquids in a paper-based setup”. The project will continue the studies that were published in this paper. The main goal of the project is to investigate and try to overcome the factors limiting the sensitivity of paper-based […]
We are very happy that Emilia got funding for her project application to NCN for “Electrochemical analysis of neurobiologically relevant analytes”. She will be using micropipettes and -electrodes to simultaneously measure both dopamine and serotonin concentrations as well as the enzyme MMP-9 with the help of machine learning algorithms. The […]
