Scientists develop phagocytic protocells capable of the targeted delivery of enzymes12 June 2017Researchers from the School of Chemistry have designed a community of artificial cell-like droplets that collectively displays a simple form of phagocytosis behavior. The work provides a new approach to designing complex life-like properties in non-living materials.
Interrogating proteins22 May 2017Bristol scientists have designed a new protein structure, and are using it to understand how protein structures are stabilised. This research may help to design small proteins and small molecules that could be the basis for future biotechnologies and medicines.
Science festival sparking a love of chemistry in local school children10 May 2017Sparks are set to fly this Thursday and Friday at the University of Bristol’s Salters' Festival of Science. Over 100 students from 27 local schools will join for two days jam-packed with chemistry workshops and activities.
