Fantastic talk from @mathewhhorrocks.bsky.social for our Single Molecules @ Sheffield seminar series. Really creative applications of single molecule confocal systems for neurodegenerative disease research. Safe travels back to Edinburgh :) Thanks again to our sponsors @biochemsoc.bsky.social

New technology could help find new drugs for antimicrobial resistance and diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cancer.

IRR Chemistry Hub researchers have developed a new method that could transform the study of cell membrane disruption.
