We are happy that our ITN grant called SuperCol was awarded! This is an international training network funded by the European Union and is coördinated by Peter. The network will train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers. Several academic institutes and industrial partners across Europe will collaborate to train a new generation of PhD students in modern super-resolution microscopy, particle functionalisation, and numerical modelling. The aim is to rationally improve colloidal design and nanoscale interfacial chemistry for particle-based biosensing. Stay tuned!
