NEW PROFESSORS IN BIONANOSCIENCE
Congratulations đ to Brigitte StĂ€dler and Rikke Louise Meyer who are appointed professors as of 1 April, 2023, at Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center - INANO.
Brigitte StÀdler's research focuses on the design and assembly of life-like units across the length scale with the aim to support or boost living mammalian cells and tissues. The obtained fundamental knowledge on how to integrate the synthetic and living world contributes to our fundamental understanding of cell biology as well as offers opportunities for next-generation medical interventions.
Rikke Meyer's research group seeks to understand how bacteria form surface-attached microbial communities called biofilms. Biofilms resist antibiotics and biocides and therefore pose a major problem in industries such as food production and water filtration, and manifest as severe implant-associated infections that cannot be cured with currently available treatments.

Tag familien med og gĂ„ pĂ„ opdagelse i en usynlig đŹ verden pĂ„ INANO, nĂ„r vi, som noget nyt, Ă„bner dĂžrene for besĂžgende bĂžrn og deres familier. (tilmelding pĂ„krĂŠvet) đ
Tirsdag og sÞndag i efterÄrsferien inviterer iNANO, bÞrn og deres familier til Mission X i alt 4 gange.
De besĂžgende har muligheden for at fĂ„ en unik og spĂŠndende oplevelse ved at gĂ„ pĂ„ opdagelse i en usynlig verden. Her kan man bl.a. opleve de meget dyre og enorme maskiner, som bliver brugt til at se de allermindste ting. đ
(Anbefalet for bĂžrn fra 6 Ă„r)
âïžBesĂžgene er gratis, men krĂŠver tilmelding efter fĂžrst-til-mĂžlle.

Eventet er lavet i samarbejde med Steno Museet, og det er ogsÄ her tilmeldte mÞdes (der er 8 minutters gang fra museet til iNANO).
Med tilmelding fÄr personer under 18 Är ogsÄ gratis adgang til Steno Museet. Her kan man udforske Mission X yderligere og mÞde de vilde robotter, prÞve spÊndende eksperimenter og rejse mod stjernerne. Vi hÄber at se en masse bÞrn og deres familier til et hyggeligt og lÊrerigt event.

The world is drowning in plastic: New centre can become one of the planet's lifebuoys đ
The world's oceans are filling with plastic, and the global community cannot keep up with production and break down the large amount of plastic produced every year. "We must find a solution", says Professor Daniel Otzen (iNANO).
Plastic-eating enzymes can be the key to solving the plastic crisis! đ„
With DKK 57 million from the Novo Nordisk Fonden's Challenge Programme, he can now open a centre for plastic research at Aarhus University. â»ïž

- NANOSTRUCTURES FOR EFFICIENT MEDICINE -
Most drugs used today have only one mechanism of action and it is both difficult and expensive to manufacture drugs with multiple functions.
Professor Kurt Vesterager Gothelf and his research team at Aarhus University have recently found a way to create stable nanostructures that can assemble biomolecules with different functions, which in combination e.g., can provide more effective cancer medicine. đ
The researchers are part of the Center for Multifunctional Biomolecular Drug Design (CEMBID), which is funded by Novo Nordisk Fonden. The purpose of the research center is to find new ways to link different drugs to achieve multiple mechanisms of action. (www.cembid.au.dk)
The research team, led by Professor Kurt Gothelf, has just published an article in the acclaimed journal AngewandteChemie, which displays how they have created nanostructures with increased stability using artificial building blocks.
Authors of the scientific paper:
- Anders MĂ€rcher
- Vipin Kumar
- Veronica Liv Andersen
- Kassem El-Chami
- Jane Nguyen
- Mads Koch Skaanning
- Imke Rudnik-Jansen
- Jesper Sejrup Nielsen

How do complex molecules fold into their functional and useful shape? Despite recent progress in predicting protein and RNA structure, we are still far from being able to design biomolecular structures that rival the complexity found in Nature.
A new interdisciplinary research team, COFOLD, funded with DKK 15 million by Novo Nordisk Fonden, aims to elucidate the rules of RNA folding in order to design RNA molecules for applications in medicine and synthetic biology.
COFOLD team:
- Assoc. Prof. Ebbe S. Andersen
- Assoc. Prof. Victoria Birkedal
- Assoc. Prof. Christian Storm Pedersen
- Professor Ariane Briegel
