Here you will find a chronologically sorted list of the most important published scientific achievements.
NMR aerosolomics is a method that was developed and is still being evolved in the Research Group of Aerosol Chemistry and Physics. This method uses the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the chemical composition of polar organic substances in aerosol particles using a database of NMR spectra of individual substa…
Atmospheric aerosols are small solid or liquid particles in the atmosphere, ranging in size from 1 nm to 100 μm. They have a significant impact on human health, the natural water cycle, and the Earth’s radiation budget. They can affect climate either directly by scattering or absorbing incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation, or indir…
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer and its current clinical diagnosis at early stages, which would improve the poor survival rate, is limited by insufficient sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, new diagnostic approaches such as metabolomics have been tested in recent years. The publication in the Journal of Proteome…
Bubbles in liquids are part of many industrial applications. Liquids usually contain surfactants that adsorb on the surface of the bubbles and significantly influence their behavior. This work investigates the damping effect of surfactants on bubble surface deformation in two experiments. A high-speed camera is used to observe the controlled oscill…
Cores of geological faults are granular layers often filled with fluid, which tend to dilate on the increase in slip rate, for example, during earthquake nucleation. Dilation of the fault causes a drop in pore fluid pressure which in turn increases the strength of the fault. This effect, known as dilatancy hardening, may suppress the…
Galectins (Gal), proteins that bind carbohydrate ligands of glycans, represent a fundamental regulatory system that modulates many biological processes. Advances in Gal-targeted therapy must be based on a detailed understanding of ligand and protein recognition mechanisms. For glycodendrimer-based multivalent ligands (glyco-DDMs), the so-called mul…
