A new paper from our group led by @melissozkann 🥳

Delighted and privileged to host @frstella as part of the SPARC project. He delivered an inspiring lecture series, and we had excellent brainstorming sessions that opened avenues for extended collaborations and offered many insightful suggestions. Looking forward.. @IRG_iitkgp

New in The Innovation Materials! Sustainable photopolymer design towards a circular 3D printing. Can 3D printing be truly circular? EPFL researchers highlight two novel photopolymer resins that are fully depolymerizable and reprintable without performance loss. A milestone for sustainable additive manufacturing. @Innov_Materials doi.org/10.59717/j.xin… #GreenChemistry #CircularEconomy #3DPrinting

Check out the portrait of Prof. @frstella, from the Supramolecular NanoMaterials and Interfaces Laboratory (SuNMIL), who has been named the best teacher for 2025 in the materials science section. Thank you Francesco for your commitment! 👉 actu.epfl.ch/news/i-would-b…

Nature research paper: Stabilizing effect of amino acids on protein and colloidal dispersions go.nature.com/46mDR6d

I am hiring at the PhD or Postdoc level. I am looking for motivated candidates willing to work on a challenging project at the frontiers of what we understand of protein colloidal stability.

It has taken a lot of work and a long journey, at the end we show that there is a colloidal way amino acids stabilize proteins. A great collaboration with Alfredo Alexander-Katz that proposes new theory on colloidal stability. Just published in @Nature rdcu.be/eFrqm

🎓 Congratulations to Dr. Melis Özkan for successfully defending her PhD thesis (nominated for the Best thesis award) “Development of Small Molecule Heparin Glycomimetics for Applications in Nerve Regeneration Therapies” under Prof. @frstella and Prof. @_smicera supervision.

🎉Huge congratulations to Katya for representing SuNMIL at last week’s #GRC2025 in Newry, Maine, on 3D Electron Microscopy! 🧊❄️ She gave a talk at the GRS on cryo‑ET of protein‑protein interactions, and her poster was selected for a short talk at the GRC. 🥳#cryoET

🏆 Congratulations to Prof. Francesco Stellacci @frstella from @SuNMIL_EPFL @Materials_EPFL for receiving an ERC Advanced Grant for his project Engineering Protein Interactions Using Small Molecules. Find out more: actu.epfl.ch/news/epfl-rese…
