Researchers at CiQUS have created synthetic microdroplets capable of mimicking basic cellular functions while withstanding salt concentrations similar to those found in the human body. Published in JACS, the study represents a step forward in the construction of artificial cell models with potential biomedical applications.

Researchers at CiQUS have developed a strategy to activate an initially inactive molecule through chemical stimuli, enabling it to recognize and bind to a specific DNA structure known as a three-way junction (3WJ).

The closing event featured student research presentations and a keynote by renowned scientist Prof. Luisa De Cola on breakthrough biomedical nanomaterials.

The meeting provided an opportunity to assess the progress of MolDAM, a European project focused on studying and controlling chemical reactions at the atomic scale through molecular synthesis and advanced microscopy techniques.

The CiQUS researcher was honoured for her pioneering work, in the most gender-balanced edition of the awards to date.

Researchers from CiQUS and CRETUS have developed a new method to immobilize plastic-degrading enzymes inside protein nanospheres produced by bacteria.
