Ok,how many times we need to discuss this?! instead of resorting to the easiest,simplest solution (pump the harmful pesticide into the crop fields), let’s,for once, be clever and pump a bit of money and joint action into finding sustainable alternatives! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Andrés, Andrés García, has recently joined our lab as a Postdoc Research Associate. He will be developing novel nano-based approaches for detecting & targeting pancreatic cancers. Welcome, Andrés, glad to have you in the team!

one of our favourite collaborators is looking for new team members. Excellent brainstorming sessions included😉.

🚨BIG NEWS!🚨

CEB's BioNano Engineering Group (Fruk Lab) has secured a significant grant from the BBSRC as part of the Council’s first Business and Academia Prosperity Partnership scheme!

Read more about it on the CEB website: ceb.cam.ac.uk/news/fruk-grou…

Congratulations Ljiljana Fruk and Fruk Lab for being awarded a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Business & Academia Prosperity Partnership scheme grant, to work w/ Colorifix and Euser group Cavendish Laboratory, to improve the adhesion of nature-inspired pigments to cellulose fibres, in particular recycled cotton.

Thanks to this new BBSRC scheme we can implement the strategies for sustainable dyeing of textiles faster using Colorifix facilities. Green colours and recycled fabrics: here we come! Colorifix CEB Cambridge Fruk Lab

And you have a lot of fun in the process😊

hooray Muhamad.For many more shiny nanoparticles to come!

Inspired by histones, modified polydopamine nanostructures can bind,deliver and release DNA.

We have not expected that addition of small amounts of polydopamine and gold nanoparticles could result in such significant enhancement of DNAzyme activity.NanoBio rocks!

Using nano materials to enhance the activity of slow DNAzyme: another way to employ nanomaterials to improve catalysis and biosensor design

Efficient and cost-effective!Plus, great collaborative work with Hitachi Cambridge Hitachi in Europe

Could we find smarter ways to treat tumours?Maybe by changing the environment cancer cells reside in? I hope we come up with few effective ways to deal with solid tumours in particular. And detect them earlier.CancerTeDDy Early Cancer Institute, University of Cambridge
