Nano-Reinforcement of Adhesives, Plastics, Paints and Coatings
Technology Reinforcement of common and proprietary polymers (plastics) and composite materials for coatings and casts with nano-additives in small percentages leads to improvement of anti crack, anti-scratch, anti-rust and anti-moisture properties. Novel, patented, self-assembled organic aromatic peptide nanotubes and nanospheres exhibit exceptional thermal and chemical durability and outstanding mechanical properties. These nanostructures have demonstrated increase […] Read More >

The central dogma in the study of protein folding suggests that the thermodynamically-favorable state of proteins under physiological conditions is their folded one. However, there are number of cases in which the favorable states of proteins are rather unfolded, partially folded (e.g., “molten globular”), or misfolded (e.g., nonspecific aggregates or amyloid fibrils). These observations lead […] Read More >

The research in my laboratory is centered around two main areas: 1) on the taxonomic level – the phylum Porifera (sponges); and 2) on Symbiosis between marine organisms (usually with a sponge as one of the interacting organisms). Over the years we have thus studied many sponge species and their associates: from microorganisms (cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, and fungi) through […] Read More >
High Throughput Screening (HTS) of Novel Bioactive Compounds
The primary objective of the HTS Center is to act as a core unit focused on coordinating the multidisciplinary search for novel compounds with potential biological and pharmacological properties. The Center offers a highly versatile fully automated robotic system suitable for providing high throughput screening capabilities. Offered Services include:1.
