Monika Szefczyk

We are pleased to announce that Dr. hab. @MSzefczyk has joined the Editorial Board of the newly launched scientific journal Peptide Horizons (PH). Learn more here: sciltp.com/journals/ph

We have a new independent researcher in our group! It is with great pleasure that we announce that Dr. Monika Szefczyk has been awarded the degree of Habilitated Doctor. We warmly congratulate and wish continued success in the research and future academic endeavors.

Check out a new review of the experimental methods most commonly used to study amyloid cross-interactions, both in vitro and in vivo. Read the article published in Protein Science @WileyGlobal for free: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Our latest research on the potential use of peptide foldamers as nanocarriers has just been published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry B @RoySocChem! Check it out and see how foldamers could help shape the future of nanomedicine! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Prof. Łukasz Berlicki and dr. Monika Szefczyk joined the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action CA23111- SNOOPY (Searching for Nanostructured or pOre fOrming Peptides for therapY). More about SNOOPY: cost-snoopy.eu/about/

The study published in the Int. J. Biol. Macromol. @ELSchemistry by KotulskaLab in cooperation with Dr. Monika Szefczyk explores the aggregation patterns of amyloidogenic motifs from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Check out our latest publication in the Journal of Materials Chemistry B @RoySocChem! You’ll discover how to increase the stability of peptide foldamers and create nanostructures from them! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Dr. Monika Szefczyk has been awarded a fellowship from the @VisegradFund for a scientific stay at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, Hungary. Dr. Szefczyk will join the Biomimetic Systems Research Group led by Prof. Tamas Martinek.

In a new review, published in The Chemical Record @Wiley_Chemistry, we look for the reasons behind the difficulties in dissolving peptides and give some tips on how to deal with the so-called difficult sequences. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Last week, Dr. Monika Szefczyk took part in the 6th Interdisciplinary Conference Nano(&)BioMaterials - from theory to application in Toruń, where she gave a presentation entitled "Self-aggregating peptide foldamers as ideal candidates for biocompatible nanomaterials."

Localized insulin fibril formation poses significant challenges in insulin therapy. In our article published in Phys Chem Chem Phys (@RoySocChem) with #KotulskaLab, we report on the use of PSMα3 peptide as an inhibitor of insulin fibrillation. More info: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Arti…

Dr. Monika Szefczyk was awarded in the fifth edition of the Secundus competition at @PWr_Wroclaw! This program recognizes researchers from our university who have the highest publication output in the last year and who were under 40 years old and did not hold a habilitation.

In our newest publication @ELSchemistry with cooperation with #KotulskaLab we are showing that substituting or switching the order of amino acids in peptide sequences can have a significant impact on the aggregation: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Last week, Dr. Ana Gomes from the @PaulaGomes_FCUP lab at the @UPorto had the opportunity to participate in our research on peptide nanocarriers for i.e. antimalarial drugs thanks to the co-financing of the NANOFOLD project by the @NAWAPoland and @fct_pt.

WE ARE HIRING! A call for a #postdoc position in our group is open. We search for talented and motivated peptide/organic chemist. Please RT.

The effect of our collaboration with scientists representing various faculties of @PWr_Wroclaw has just been published in the Soft Matter @RoySocChem journal. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
