The Nanomalaria joint unit’s winning submission is a cryo-transmission electron microscope image of liposomes being assayed for the encapsulation of drugs specifically targeted to red blood cells infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The competition, which was open to the more than 2000 people who make up the PCB community, aimed to create a mosaic of image for Instagram that depicts a snapshot of life at the park on a typical day.

Shrinking technologies to dig deeper into the body’s secrets

Advanced materials_ AgusilA team of scientists including IBEC researchers have developed a brand new technique that miniaturizes the way we study biomolecular interactions, allowing multiple analyses inside living cells for the first time.

Published in Advanced Materials, the study describes a new technology, Suspended Planar-Array chips, whose extraordinary degree of miniaturization permits their use at the microscale. The new technique uses a single suspended chip to identify, quantify and determine of biochemical and physiological changes in small volumes, a reduction so dramatic that it even permits analysis inside living cells.
