FASERS is out! Really pleased to see our project on label-free SERS sensing out today. Super interdisciplinary collaboration while in the group of Prof. Molly Stevens @imperialcollege. Well done Nayoung Kim! Pleasure working with such a talented team! nature.com/articles/s4146…

📅 Deadline to apply: 26th January 2025 Learn more & apply here: ucl.ac.uk/london-nano/cd… Make a real impact in the fight against AMR! 🌟

Benefit from a supportive environment: Weekly meetings & hands-on supervisor guidance EDI focus & professional development opportunities Courses in data science, research skills & biomanufacturing

The challenge: Current AST methods rely on slow bacterial cultures (1-7 days). This delays critical decisions in urgent care. We’re developing rapid, cost-effective lateral flow assays (LFAs) to detect bacterial resistance without the wait. 🧪⏱️ #AMR #Diagnostics

📢 New PhD Opportunity for 2025 Intake! Join the EPSRC & BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) @ucl. Help us revolutionize Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). 🦠🔬

📚 What you’ll gain: ✅ Expertise in nanotech, biochem, lateral flow and simulation ✅ Skills in research, conference presentations, and publishing ✅ A shot at reshaping global health systems! 🌎 🎯 Got a Master’s or MRes in science/engineering? Apply now! U.K./EU/Global.

Your mission: ⚙️ Engineer modular LFAs for rapid disease response 🧪 Design proteins, nanoparticles & new assays 📊 Use simulation tools for LFA innovation 💡 Initial focus: SARS-CoV-2 & beyond 🚀 Be a part of the next pandemic breakthrough!

🚨 Want to fight pandemics with cutting-edge science? Join us @UCL to revolutionize lateral flow assays (LFAs) for Disease-X! 🌍🧪 Let’s make diagnostics faster, scalable & ready for the 100-Days Mission. 🗓 Deadline: 13:00 GMT, 28 Jan 2025 👉 Apply here: ucl-epsrc-dtp.github.io/2025-26-projec…

@ssimoncelli @NanoLetters Fabulous work @ssimoncelli and team!

Thrilled to share our latest work in @NanoLetters! Can we measure association and dissociation constants within cell environments? Check out how we use single-molecule localization microscopy to determine protein-protein interactions in T cells. 🥼🔬 💪 doi.org/10.1021/acs.na…

Great post doc opportunity with @DrStefanieF just out on protein nanoparticle platforms for vaccine development @UCLBiochemEng1 that we’ll be supporting too! Have a look 👀🦠🧪jobs.ac.uk/job/DJU418/res…

Excited to advertise a Post doctoral position in enzymatic approaches to plastic waste degradation and valorisation, as part of the Preventing Plastic Waste with Engineering Biology Hub. Plastic waste is a problem, be part of the solution! jobs.ac.uk/job/DJF509/res…

Exciting news - we are recruiting a PDRA in Seaweed Bioprocessing Intensification Development at our UCL East Campus at Grade 7, working with @EmilyKostas Deadline 6 May ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Amazing to be part of the new EPSRC and BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Solutions for #AntimicrobialResistance hosted by @LondonNanotech @UCL with a cross faculty team to address a cross-disciplinary challenge! Well done! #EPSRC_CDTs

What an awesome area of research and a fantastic supervisor to work with too! 💎💎💎🧲🔦📸⚡️

Super happy to share the first full paper from my group! It’s taken 4.5 years, set back by Covid, but it is finally out in the wild! Here, @_sumeza shows a new strategy using enzymes and ionic liquids for rapid plastic recycling. @kclchemistry @KingsNMES cell.com/cell-reports-p…
