- The work of Alessia Fantoni (PhD, 2025) has been published.March 3, 2026We are pleased to highlight the recent publication of Alessia Fantoni’s PhD research in Chemistry – A European Journal. Her work presents a gold-nanoparticle-based colorimetric nanosensor capable of rapidly and selectively detecting biologically relevant polyamines in water, offering a simple and promising approach for future non-invasive disease diagnostics.
- Copper transport against cancerJanuary 15, 2026An interdisciplinary team of ULB researchers has developed molecules that can transport copper ions across lipid membranes of cells. Together with colleagues of the Université Grenoble Alpes, they found that copper transport is an efficient way to kill cancer cells.
- New Publication in Angewandte ChemieDecember 11, 2025Hennie's group and Nathalie Buschaert's team at Tulane University published work on the transport of cAMP and AMP across lipid bilayers using synthetic small molecules.
- New PublicationNovember 26, 2025Plasmon-mediated functionalization of colloidal gold nanoparticles through reductive grafting of diazonium salts under pulsed laser irradiation, by Bryan Gosselin, Maurice Retout, Victor Lepeintre, Jérôme Tisaun, Claire Mangeney, Cécile Moucheron, Gilles Bruylants* and Ivan Jabin* - First published: 18 November 2025
- New publication in Chemistry. A European Journal.September 26, 2025The joint project from Anurag and Lau on small chloride transporters has been published in Chemistry, A European Journal. These cyanostilbenes can bind chloride anions via CH-anion interactions and function as selective chloride transporters.
- Aaron's work has been published in Angewandte ChemieSeptember 16, 2025Spatiotemporal Control of the Formation of Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes in Liposome-Based Nanoreactors, by Aaron Torres-Huerta, Miriam de J. Velásquez-Hernández, Elena Tamarit-Amoros,Marina Raschetti, Daniel Pinkas, Ondrej Jurcek, Javier Pérez, and Hennie Valkenier* - First published: 13 September 2025
- Raphaël's works on Gold Nanoparticles has been published in Bioconjugate Chemistry as ACS Editor's choice!May 23, 2025Gold Nanoparticles Coated with Nucleic Acids: An Overview of the Different Bioconjugation Pathways,by Raphaël Dutour and Gilles Bruylants- First published: 21 May 2025
- Matus got his main transport story published in OBCApril 25, 2025Eight different types of fluorinated groups were used to functionalise benzylated bambusuril macrocycles, resulting in a library of eleven anion receptors with high chloride affinities and very different anion transport rates.
