2d materials assisted nanoscopic mapping of proton fluxes in living cells

proton channels in cells and the corresponding transmembrane proton fluxes are critical for many cell activities recent studies reveal that expression levels of proton channel hv1 and its activity are highly associated with the development of many diseases including cancer spreading disrupted bone metabolism and stroke which makes proton channel an interesting therapeutic target yet the full understanding of the mechanism of proton fluxrelated disease development is still under development partially due to a lack of direct observation method of the proton fluxes in living cells with high spatiotemporal resolution to tackle this issue we propose to develop a high throughput labelfree superresolution imaging method to map proton fluxes in cells by using twodimensional hexagonal boron nitride hbn substrate with protonactivated emitters very recently my colleague and i found that surface defects in hbn can be optically activated by protonation in aqueous solutions resulting in intermittent emission that allows singlemolecule localization analysis the high photocounts from the emitters lead to localization with precision as high as 7 nm using such surface defects as an array of proton sensors proton fluxes from proton channels in cell membranes in close proximity can be detected labelfree in this project we will 1 artificially introduce and characterize defects in hbn that are optimized for proton sensing purposes 2 test the photophysics of defect emitter in physiological conditions 3 demonstrate proofoftheconcept superresolved mapping of hv1 proton channel activities in vivo and in vitrovia this project i will further develop my core competence in 2d materials singlemolecule sensing microscopy and more importantly learn to design and handle experiments of the complex biological systems and bioimaging in the host group this fellowship will greatly improve my competence to pursue an academic career in the biosensing field

the role of dopamine signalling in the central clock in the model of metabolic syndrome

the internal daily rhythms of an organism are driven by the circadian timing system the master clock is in the brain hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei scn scn rhythms are entrained to the 24h environmental lightdark cycle by retinal light input but also respond to nonphotic cues eg food intake transmitted via neuronal projections from other brain areas disruption of daily rhythms can lead to cardiometabolic diseases but the underlying mechanisms are unclear recent evidence challenges the belief that the scn is only sensitive to dopamine da in early development it appears that da affects scn function also in adults in the brain reward system da is linked to bingeeating in animals on a highfat diet we hypothesise that da acts as a nonphotic cue in the scn providing feedback information on metabolic status which can be disturbed by dietinduced obesity this projects main aim is to delineate the cardiometabolic effects of da in the central scn clock my objectives are to define the effects of da signalling in the scn on 1 energy metabolism 2 glucose homeostasis and the cardiovascular system and 3 these cardiometabolic parameters under obese conditions to achieve my goals i will combine supervisors expertise in the central circadian control of energy metabolism along with specialized techniques and equipment with my knowledge in cardiovascular measurements using radiotelemetry i will use rats expressing cre recombinase in dopamine d1 receptorneurons and targeted viral injections an innovative technique to mimic da signalling in the scn the secondment project findings will fill the knowledge gap in neural mechanisms behind the adverse effects of circadian disturbance on energy homeostasis and could help to improve lifestyles of patients with cardiometabolic diseases this mscapfsupported project will enhance my technical and transferable skills facilitating my path to becoming an independent researcher in chronobiology
ligniniron complexes for removal of nanoplastics in enhanced coagulationflocculation from water

recent advances in lignin nanotechnology have opened up new possibilities not just for underutilized lignin side streams but also for hybrid organicinorganic nanocomposites one specific instance is mixing metal ions with lignin nanoparticles lnps to create new materials with desired superparamagnetic properties currently limited knowledge exists regarding the interaction between lnps and iron which is what ligniron intends to fill additionally there is no indication of how iron oxide nanoparticles can be encapsulated into lnps in a reproducible and uniform manner identifying these gaps and unlocking the full potential of the ligniniron complex requires developing fundamental knowledge of the ligniniron surface chemistry using microfluidic systems where a variety of opportunities exist for studying hybrid material formation the combination of this knowledge with electrospinning processes would result in a new method that may translate academic research into practical application for continuous mass production of ligniniron hybrid materials by achieving these objectives lignirion paves the way for the application of lnps into innovative functional materials and creates a new highvolume highvalue enduse for lignin thereby contributing to the implementation of the eu circular economy policy ultimately the new materials are designed to be used as as retrievable flocculants to remove nanoplastic from water enabling eu water treatment plants to be effectively prepared for future combat against nanoplastics without significant infrastructure expansion costs

a clean and cost competitive hydrogen production solution near the end user thanks to an innovative plasma methane pyrolysis technology

hyplasma aims at bringing to the market an integrated solution for the production of affordable clean hydrogen the process is based on methane pyrolysis which transforms natural gas or biomethane into clean hydrogen on one hand and solid carbon on the other hand it therefore avoids co2 emissions the operating costs are much lower than electrolysis currently the most mature clean hydrogen production solution thanks to lower electricity consumption besides the carbon contained in the methane is sequestrated as a valuable solid carbon byproduct this innovation was designed with industrial constraints in mind allowing continuous operation at a competitive price with a low footprint and allows to easily retrofit existing infrastructure a greater environmental impact can be achieved when industrial processes are transformed but not disrupted hyplasma is containerized to deliver clean hydrogen near the enduser and thus decentralize the hydrogen production

replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources is one of the main challenges of our time harvesting solar radiation is a possible solution as the sunlight power reaching earth is orders of magnitude larger than human consumption however the efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells is limited by dissipation of all the photons energy exceeding the semiconductor bandgap according to the shockleyqueisser sq limit the bulk photovoltaic bpv effect arising in noncentrosymmetric crystals has attracted considerable attention as abovebandgap electrons are predicted to contribute to the photocurrent thus breaking the sq limit to enhance bpvdevice efficiencies the underlying tensorial lightmatter interaction needs further attention until now the contribution from the threedimensional shape of the electromagnetic field has been neglected while a greater emphasis has been placed on the effect of the inplane field gradient a comprehensive theoretical and experimental understanding of the vectorial coupling between the conductivity tensor and the threedimensional field structure is thus far lacking the goal of this proposal is to identify the mechanism governing this coupling through carefully engineered light beams and by nanoscale mapping of the photocurrent with a novel scanning probe technique this knowledge will be used to develop an optimization algorithm to improve bpvdevices efficiency given a target material it will return the light structuring which maximizes the photocurrent generation during the project i will complement my skills in scanning probe techniques optics and solidstate physics with methods in structured light and materials scienceengineering this unique set of skills will enable the progress of my career in the emerging field of structured lightmatter interactions at the same time i will acquire the necessary transferrable skills leadership communication and grant writing to become an independent group leader
