Palmans Research Group

Join us in welcoming Kavya Pramod to the Palmans research group. She moved here after her masters from IISER Thiruvananthapuram, India. She will be working on developing catalytically active SCPNs for bio-orthogonal chemistry. We wish her the best and look forward to exciting science ahead!

In our latest work in @chemcomm.rsc.org, we have looked into CuAAC click efficiency in complex biological medium by encapsulating them in Single-chain polymeric nanoparticles. Check it out here pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
Congratulations to @prakashamap.bsky.social and team.

Revealing the Folding of Single-Chain Polymeric Nanoparticles at the Atomistic Scale by Combining Computational Modeling and X-ray Scattering Predicting 3D structures of synthetic heterograft polymers in solution starting from a chemical structure remains a great challenge. Here, we get grip on the 3D structures formed by amphiphilic, rando...

We have investigated the folding of Single-Chain Polymeric Nanoparticles in our latest work @pubs.acs.org in collaboration with Ilja K. Voets @tue.nl and Mathieu Surin @umons-universite.bsky.social
