Julian Bergueiro
Our group has been granted with a grant from our regional goverment as “Proyectos de personal investigador con trayectoria excelente”. We thank Consellería de cultura, educación, formación profesional e universidade for this funding!
It has been a wonderful time in Rome. We had the opportunity to share our latest findings in the topology of the α-helix. Rebeca and Jose did an amazing job in the poster session. It is always a pleasure to meet the chirality community!
Julian has been awarded with a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship that will allow the development of independent research lines based on peptide self-assembly. We thank Agencia Estatal de Investigación.
We compare in this study the mechanical properties at the nanoscale of three different nanospherical materials. We could observe by AFM-QNM interesting mechanical properties inherited from their different synthetic procedures. Congratulation Ernesto for this nice study!!
Unfortunately this time our proposal for the cover art was not selected.
In the frame of our shared Royal Society Grant, I had the opportunity to visit our collaborator Paco Fernandez-Trillo labs and get to know the amazing research that this great team does. Moreover, I delivered a talk about our last findings in thermoresponsive materials for biomedical applications.
Our project SUPRAPOROUS has been granted!
The 5th joint Call of the European Group of Interest (EIG) CONCERT-Japan on Functional Porous Materials will finance our idea in close collaboration with the groups of Prof. Aida in Tokyo, Prof. Parak in Hamburg and Dr. Orentas in Vilnius.

The combination of an anisotropic thermoresponsive hydrogel with gold nanoparticles as phototransdures is conveniently employed in our recent report to control worm like peristaltic crawling. Read more about this concept here: DOI:10.1002/anie.201810052
The amazing behavior of the chiro-thermoresponsive elastin-based side-chain poly(phenylacetylene)s was exposed in the XXVII Reunión Bienal de Química Orgánica at Santiago de Compostela.
Montenegro group has recently reported in Nanoscale Horizons their findings in pH-triggered self-assembly of peptidic nanotubes in confined spaces. Read more about it in the Nanoscale Horizons Blog entry that I had the pleasure to write!
I am happy to extend my participation as a member of the RSC Nanoscale Horizons Community Board. Really great professionals involved in the managing of this journal!
