The TED Talk about the peptides in the fight against antimicrobial resistance presented by our PhD student Julia is now available online! Watch it here.

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!

Our work is published in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences“!

Piotr Chyży and Prof. Joanna Trylska, in collaboration with researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw, and the group of Prof. Yuji Sugita from RIKEN, Japan, carried out the research on the association path of neomycin to riboswitches.

The article can be found here.

Congratulations!

A PhD student from Italy, Rosa, joined our group for 6-month scholarship as a part of her PhD thesis about PNA oligomers. Welcome!

Announcement: We are looking for a post-doc experienced in microbiology/molecular biology/biophysics/biochemistry to work on the OPUS project “Making use of siderophore transport systems to deliver peptide nucleic acids to bacterial cells“. Click here for the details and requirements. 

Our PhD student Piotr C. received a PRELUDIUM grant from the National Science Center for his work on a hybrid approach for designing new antimicrobial peptides. Congratulations!

Announcement: We are looking for a master’s student to work on a research project related to the chemical synthesis of peptide-based molecules. Click here for the details and requirements. Please send your application to m.wojciechowska@cent.uw.edu.pl.
