Jørgen Skibsted will be appointed as Professor at Dept. of Chemistry 01 January 2022.

Associate Professor Marianne Glasius (iNANO associated) has been awarded the 2021 Aerosologist Award for her outstanding contributions to chemical molecular level characterisation of atmospheric aerosols, outreach activities and promotion of Nordic aerosol science.

A research team from iNANO and Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (Aarhus University) has used an in vitro selection technique to develop an RNA molecule that recognises and binds the Spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 with very high specificity and strength. The hope is that the new molecule, known as an RNA aptamer, can help improve diagnostics and treatment of COVID-19.

The Carlsberg Foundation awards DKK 12 million in total for iNANO associated researchers. The funds allow the researchers to invest in new valuable research instruments, which will create basis for strengthened research collaboration across research groups at iNANO and partnering departments. One of the recipients have received funds for going on a research stay at a leading international research institution outside Denmark.

Three iNANO associated researchers have received DKK 9 million in total for studying dynamic multivalent interactions at the single molecule level, dynamics during protein interactions, and how surfactants denature proteins.
