Welcome to our Lab! Diogo is a Biochemistry bachelor’s student in NOVA-FCT, working as a research assistant on a project focused on the development of natural electrolytes based on eutectic systems for supercapacitors. This project motivated him to join our lab, with the prospect of using Molecular Dynamics to unveil the structure and properties …
On January 21-22, 2025, the PROSPLIGN project team gathered for its annual General Assembly at NOVA FCT in Caparica, Lisbon. The event brought together a dynamic consortium of partners from across Europe to discuss the project’s progress, share insights, and align on future goals.By coming together in person, we strengthen our collective efforts in advancing …
We’re kicking off the year with great news! Members of our team have published an article in Material Advances by the Royal Society of Chemistry, focusing on the unique cephalopod proteins, reflectins, which are key to light reflection and camouflage. The study demonstrated that one recombinant reflectin sequence, R6, shows superior reversibility and faster assembly …
