Paper on nanoparticle - receptor interactions published in JACS AU

Our article entitled ‘Quartz Crystal Microbalance Method to Measure Nanoparticle–Receptor Interactions and Evaluate Nanoparticle Design Efficiency’ was finally published in JACS Au. Huge congratulations to everyone involved! You can see the article linked below, and also take a look at the cover art which I produced and designed using Blender to illustrate the concept of a quartz crystal microbalance allowing us to probe bionanoparticle-receptor interactions at the nanoscale.

I am a Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) based at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. My research focuses on the areas of nanomaterial electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and interfacial science for energy applications. I previously worked as a Marie Curie fellow (Université de Rennes) and postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) in the School of Chemistry, University College Dublin and as a postdoc and lecturer in Trinity College Dublin where I completed my PhD in physical chemistry with a focus on electrochemical and spectroscopic characterisation of nitrogenated carbon materials. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at Trinity in 2014, when I graduated at the top of my class.
