The Computational Biophysics Group at the University of Udine, Italy, invites applications for a number of PhD fellowships in computational biophysics applied to nanomedicine. Qualified candidates are encouraged to reach out to prospective supervisors in advance to discuss possible projects to be included in the application package, which must be submitted to the PhD School […]
After a pause from Academia: I am back! I indeed just took up a position in Applied Physics at the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics at the University of Udine, Italy. My new coordinates: e-mail: sara.fortuna@uniud.it web: www.sarafortuna.eu Office: B1.2 (first floor) Dipartimento di Scienze Matematiche, Informatiche e Fisiche Universita’ di Udine Via […]
We are part of the team being awarded the H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) with the project “STOP SPREAD BAD BUGS: novel antimicrobial approaches to combat multidrug resistance in bacteria“. As part of the CONCEPT lab we will support a multidisciplinary team composed by medical doctors, biologists, chemists, and physicists to […]
We are part of the team being awarded the national PRIN2020 project “CANNOT-ESKAPE: Targeting baCteriAl cell eNvelope of Nocosomial paThogens to ESKAPE resistance”. Our unit, led by Rita de Zorzi (University of Trieste), we will support a multidisciplinary team led by Flavia Squeglia (CNR, Naples), supporting biologists, chemists, and physicists tackling the problem of antimicrobial […]
The University of Trieste celebrated our achievements HERE (post available only in Italian), and also on FACEBOOK and LinkedIn!
Our team has just been awarded an AIRC IG 2020 grant with the title “Computational design of theragnostic nanobodies: targeting missense mutants in metastatic breast cancer cells” (409,000€ – 5 years).
We are part of the team being awarded the H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) – European Industrial Doctorates (EID) with the project “INTERfaces – Heterogeneous biocatalysis reaction cascades training network” INTERfaces combines material science and protein engineering to design tailored enzymes and (bio-based) materials that will complement each other to obtain […]
Welcome to Nikola Minovski, who joined today our team to work on the project “In silico design of customised high-affinity antibody fragments for biomarker detection” from the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation (ARDF).
We welcome Hendrik Vondracek in our team! Hendrik is a physicist and got his PhD in 2018 from the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum (Germany). He then worked on a project involving research-driven (Elettra NanoInnovation Lab) and commercial (Ulisse BioMed) partners for the development of an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of biomarkers, and chose our team […]
Our commitment in the development of new computational protocols that can compete and, in time, eliminate the demand for in vivo procedures for antibody discovery and maturation has been prized with a 40,000$ grant with the project “In silico design of customised high-affinity antibody fragments for biomarker detection” from the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation […]
