2025
September 2025 - We have been awarded a Royal Society Research Grant to help establish our research capabilities within the membrane science community. Our project will focus on the behaviour of polymer materials at biological interfaces.
May 2025 - The new Navitar imaging system is here! This will allow us to study our microroller systems in high definition with an imaging system that can be incorporated into any custom experimental set-up. See the instrument here: https://bestscientific.co.uk/asto-resolv4k-system-build/
February 2025 - Our first PI PhD student has joined, starting in October 2025. They will be working on micro and nanoplastic dynamics.
January 2025 - Sam joins the Committee for the Joint Colloids Group, Early Career Colloids 2025 conference. Sam will be a local organiser, along with Dr. Matt Derry.
January 2025 - Another new PhD student joins a joint project with Dr. Valentin Beyer (AIME/EPS) and Dr. Alfred Fernandez-Castane (AIME/EBRI/EPS), studying new functional polyester nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
January 2025 - First PhD student accepts position on 3D Biomaterials project at the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence. Project is Led by Dr. Dave Jenkins (AIME/HLS) and co-Led by Dr. Samuel Wilson-Whitford (AIME/EPS) and Prof. Roslyn Bill (AIME/HLS).
