Cecília presented on the Green G conference, 22-23 april 2025, the work about “Dynamic materials for artificial olfaction”.
Exciting news! 🧬📰In this study, “Design and evolution of a synthetic small protein scaffold based on the WW domain,” we explored the potential of WW domains as versatile peptide scaffolds.Using in vitro evolution via phage display against human serum albumin (HSA), we identified a promising lead candidate that was successfully produced through both biological and …
New Publication Alert!We’re excited to share our latest research:“Rational design of a small peptidomimetic ligand to capture a viral spike protein” 🧪This study presents the design of a synthetic affinity adsorbent capable of capturing and purifying the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a single step — with over 95% binding efficiency and up to 73% recovery …
Over the past few weeks, our team has been actively involved in the organization of the Biophysics Festival, held on May 8th and 9th at NOVA FCT. We’re proud to share that Cátia Soares, Arménio Barbosa, and Inês Padrão were part of the organizing committee behind this exciting event!In addition to supporting the festival, we’ve …
