Semiconducting polymers (SPs) are at the forefront of the next generation of organic electronics. They enable seamless integration into various biological and industrial applications. SPs can be engineered to be mechanically compliant and soft, giving them an advantage over silicon-based electronics. Their electronic and solid-state properties also make them promising candidates for emerging organic electronics. […]

Background- Bacterial analysis in the field is complex and often imprecise. It is therefore difficult to detect and identify a specific strain in a timely manner, which complicates the choice of an optimal treatment regimen. This is a critical issue and bacterial infection are taking an increasing toll on the population and the health services. […]

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a protein on the plasma membrane that forms cup-shaped structures caveolae, which flatten to protect cells under mechanical stress. However, the relationship between the caveolae and other CAV1 structures, scaffolds and dolines, in the process of caveolae formation and flattening is unclear. A challenge is to differentiate caveolae from scaffolds using conventional […]

Modern technology relies heavily on semiconductor materials, from smartphones to solar panels. Among semiconductor materials, one-dimensional (1D) materials, such as nanowires and nanoribbons, offer exceptional electronic and optical properties. To realize the full potential of these 1D materials, it is imperative to control their synthesis and manipulate their structures precisely. In this project, we aim […]

Immunotoxins (ITs) are representing a subset of antibody drug conjugates where the synthetic toxin is replaced by a bacterial protein toxin. Major drawback is related to the immunogenicity of the protein not allowing repeated application. Consequently targeted human cytolytic fusion proteins (hCFPs) have been developed to replace the foreign protein toxin by a human apoptosis […]

In the context of an aging population, it is becoming more and more important to develop novel innovative kinds of sensors, able to detect early health changes that could potentially affect people’s health. Within this Globalink Research project, we intent to develop plasmonic based sensors, small, cheap and easy to deploy, which will be used […]

Interstitial cystitis is a life-long condition that causes pain and pressure in the bladder. It is not clear how this condition is caused; however, we know that it involves increased bladder inflammation. Currently available treatments for interstitial cystitis do not work for everyone and often stop working after a few years. We are developing a […]

Transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide, can be thinned down from bulk crystals into few or single atomic layers that exhibit unique optoelectronic properties due to quantum confinement. The proposed work aims to exfoliate these materials into single to few layers using a new electrochemical exfoliation technique and to study their optoelectronic properties when […]
