Alex, who visited us in July, wrote about his visit in the INTREPID Forensics newsletter. He seems to have had a good time here, I just hope he wasn’t too disappointed with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie museum, which is a bit underwhelming. We are looking forwards to Alex’s next visit some […]

Emilia’s Ph.D. thesis entitled “Analysis of Samples of Clinical and Alimentary Interest with Paperbased Devices“ was just awarded with the Springer thesis prize and will be published in their book series Springer Theses – the “best of the best”, recognizing outstanding Ph.D. research that “must represent a significant scientific advance”. Normally, editors […]
Every year our institute awards the “best paper” published during the previous year. Six papers are awarded: A winner, a runner-up, a third place and three mentions. This year the paper “Antibody modified gold nanoparticles for fast and selective, colorimetric T7 bacteriophage detection” (Bioconjugate Chem. 25, 644-648 (2014)) was one […]
We all welcome Dr Emilia Witkowska Nery as a new co-worker in the research group. Emilia finished her PhD in chemistry at University of Campinas in Brazil. Her scientific interests revolved around the integration of biology and chemistry in sensors such as an electronic tongue. Her previous work also involved […]
Wojtek is the main author of a new paper published in J. Phys. Chem. C on hydrogen peroxide generation at liquid|liquid interfaces. This is the latest in a series of papers (e.g. 1-5) about various reactions at the interface between immiscible liquids published in collaboration with Hubert Girault’s group in […]
Alex Smyth from University of Leicester has been visiting Warsaw for a few days to discuss what he will be doing during his further secondment to our group. Alex is a PhD student in the Intrepid Forensics project and his original research plans involved fingerprints and electrowetting, but now only […]
It took some time, but finally, in a paper in Electrochimica Acta, results from Marcin’s master thesis were published. In this paper a layer-by-layer method is used to create an electrode with carbon nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes with opposite charges. The electrode was then used for detection of thiocholine at […]
Congratulations to Dawid who was awarded one of Etiuda stipends from the National Science Centre with a project with the very general title “Badanie procesu transferu jonów na granicy ciecz|ciecz w warunkach mikroprzepływowych” (“Investigation of ion transfer at the liquid|liquid interface under microfluidic conditions”). The stipend will allow Dawid to […]
Martin just came home after visiting the 15th ECHEMS meeting organised by Prof. Gunther Wittstock and Prof. Mehtap Özaslan from the University of Oldenburg. The conference took place in the old spa-resort Bad Zwischenahn just outside Oldenburg. The conference was very well organised and the general scientific standard of the […]
Martin had some part in a new publication in Nanoscale where electrorefining of gold from an ultramicroelectrode was used to deposit nanoparticles on an ITO electode. By changing the deposition conditions the structures could be tailored to some degree for efficient oxygen reduction or to be used a relatively well […]
