The next paper in Magda’s series of articles on the redox behaviour of β-amyloids relevant for Alzheimer’s disease has just hit the press. Here we have been looking at how the presence of a redox-active amino acid, tyrosine (Tyr), affects the oxidation of a Cu(II) attached to the amino terminus […]

Measuring CRP levels in blood usually requires sending a blood sample to the lab for an ELISA test. This takes time… the results typically come only the next day. It would be so much more convenient if you could get the result directly in your doctor’s office. In our latest […]
Some papers just glide through review and get published with seemingly minimal effort. This is not one of those! After more than a year being bumped between different journals and arguments with both editors and reviewers it is finally out. The manuscript is Kasia’s brainchild. Her main line of work […]
Our group is open to scientific cooperation, which always brings good results and sometime also good publications =). This time, scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology proposed a collaboration with Magda that resulted in a publication in Dyes and Pigments. The group from WUT is known for the synthesis […]
Maybe consider an alternative to Prussian Blue when measuring H2O2. In a recently accepted paper we investigate electrodes based on manganese dioxide for determination of H2O2 and demonstrate this by addition of glucose oxidase to the electrode to make a glucose sensor. MnO2 is a good catalyst for decomposition of […]
In a publication recently accepted in Lab on a Chip, we showed a way of creating microelectrodes and arrays of electrodes in ITO using a cheap CO2 laser plotter. Such laser plotters are available in printing shops and similar places or can be bought at relatively low cost to the […]
This paper is mainly the work by the student Sebastian Machera, who spend some time working in the Surface Nanoengineering group. Together with Dr Katarzyna Szot-Karpińska, he was working on phage display technology to make bacteriophage express peptides that could recognise specific targets. In this case, the model target was […]
In March, Bren, Julia and Martin travelled to Limerick to visit our collaborators in Micheál Scanlon’s research group at the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick. Martin and Julia stayed for a few days to learn more about AC voltammetry in liquid|liquid systems. Many thanks to Nicolas for his […]
Recently another paper was published in collaboration with our UpTurn partners from Gdańsk University of Technology. Meen was investigating novel carbon materials from the Bogdanowicz group to be used for detection of serotonin. We have previously tested several different types of carbon materials for neurotransmitter detection,,, and these particles from […]
In this invited paper we studied the difference that the shape of the microcavity has in in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometers has on their sensitivity. This work is related to previous publications in collaboration between our group and Prof. Śmietana at Warsaw University of Technology., In the previous publications we used a […]
