Prof. Trylska and Dr. Wojciechowska, together with their collaborators, have received funding from the SEED4EU+ program for the project “Advanced photoluminescent platform for bacterial treatment”.

This project brings together scientists from three European universities – the University of Warsaw, the University of Milan, and Charles University – to support innovative research to create an effective platform for novel antibacterial agents based on compounds with antimicrobial properties: luminescent platinum complexes and peptide nucleic acids.

Congratulations to all involved – exciting work lies ahead!

A new PhD Student Helena joined our team to work on the SONATA BIS project. Welcome!

We have received funding from the National Science Centre for two new projects!

Monika, a PhD Senior Researcher, received a SONATA BIS grant for her project based on developing new antimicrobial agents using lytic enzymes produced by bacteriophages. More about the project here.

Izabela, our PhD student, received a PRELUDIUM grant for her work on peptide nucleic acid conjugates with aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones for targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria. More about the project here.

Congratulations!

Our team leader, Prof. Trylska, is one of the organizers of the Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting on “Emerging Theoretical Approaches to Compliment Single-Particle Cryo-Electron Microscopy” to be held in Trieste, Italy, on 21-25 October 2024.

We encourage you to register and attend the conference!
