In a paper just accepted for publication in Analytical Chemistry Marta, Emilia, and Martin, together with Damien Arrigan from Curtin University, and our former intern Alexandra Pacowska, show how ion-transfer across the liquid-liquid interface can be studied in a paper-based system. One of the problems when studying ion-transfer between an organic […]

Here’s a short update on what we’ve been doing lately Emilia gave a talk at the Polish Scientific Network meeting in Łódź. Her talk, with the title “Machine learning techniques for neurobiological data anlysis” was awarded as the best talk in the Translational Neuroscience track. Congratulations! The talk is available on […]
On 9th of May Emilia organized a discussion panel entitled “PhD… and what next?” (“Doktorat… i co dalej?”). Event was dedicated to PhD students and young doctors and the opportunities that they are facing in today’s job market. The time that Poland had 2500 PhD students all together are long […]
Again we had a group of pupils visiting us to make salt prints of photos that were printed in black and white on transparent plastic (like in overhead projectors – if anyone is old enough to remember those). This time the visitors were a group from a primary school here […]
Happy New Year for all electronic tongue lovers! In the last day of 2017 a new open-access review concerning electronic tongues appeared on MPDI Biosensors website. This invited manuscript aims to not only mention the most obvious applications of sensor matrixes such as the analysis of foodstuffs but also focuses […]
Welcome to our new Bachelor students Julia and Daniel. They are both studying chemistry at UKSW (Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University) and will do their Bachelor of Science projects in our group during the spring. Julia will be studying liquid|liquid electrochemistry under the supervision of Wojtek, and Daniel will be working […]
Emilia got a small grant (Miniatura) to develop a bio-analytical platform for multi-site electrochemical monitoring of species such as oxygen and glucose in a 3D cell culture system. 3D cell cultures are postulated to become a bridge between 2D in vitro models and experiments on animals. They provide more natural environment for […]
A few weeks ago, Emilia took part in a Summer School on Neurophysiology for Neural and Biomedical Engineering which was held in Zermatt, Switzerland. The summer school was jointly organized by three universities: Brown (USA), EPFL (Switzerland) and ETH (Switzerland). This six-day program had the goal to bring fundamental knowledge […]
Our group did very well in our institute’s “Young scientist” awards this year. The award is given to a number of PhD students and young doctors (under 35) for their publication record over the last three years. This year both Emilia and Wojtek were awarded in the doctor category and […]
We just had a feature paper accepted in Analytical Chemistry with the title “Electrochemical Glucose Sensing: Is There Still Room for Improvement?“. In violation of Hinchliffe’s Rule we answer this question with a “yes!”. However, the point of the feature is to try to point of the areas that we […]
