Biomimetic Materials Chemistry
Our RSC Soft Matter article is now published. The work describes the validation of a new method for the automated analysis of thousands of indentation curves for the 3D mapping of the mechanical properties of soft materials. The work was carried out in collaboration with Dr. Sebastien Rochat and Prof. Richard Trask at the University of Bristol, and funded by the EU Marie Curie Actions and the UK's EPSRC.
The University of Trieste has been awarded its first ERC Starting Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) as part of the Horizon Europe framework. Pierangelo Gobbo, having worked in various institutions around the world, has chosen the University of Trieste (UniTS) to develop the first fully synthetic cells capable of integrating with living cells and tissues.
Prof. Paolo Tecilla and Dr. Pierangelo Gobbo awarded prestigious national awards for Organic Chemistry from the Italian Chemical Society.
The Gobbo Group welcomes four new group members! Patrick is a PhD student with a scholarship funded by EPSRC; Izzie is a TECS-CDT PhD student who is joining our group for a short rotation project; India and Leeya are 4th year UG students joining us for their final year thesis project.
The Gobbo Group welcomes Dr Agostino Galanti, who will be working on the programmed assembly of synthetic cells into protocellular materials.
Despite current global pandemic our students’ thirst for discovery keeps on growing. The Gobbo Group welcomes MRes student Ms Estela Bocarando Salcido and ESPRC Vacation Bursary awardee Ms Victoria Jiang.
Groundbreaking research programme on machine learning-assisted polymer design is taking off thanks to Jean Golding Institute £5k seed grant.
