Machine Learning to Decipher the Sequence Specificity of Primases
Primases play a crucial role in DNA replication and are possible drug targets for proliferating cells such as cancer cells. The specificity of primases for their template is limited and only poorly investigated. Using a previously published protein binding microarray (PBM) dataset (Soffer et al., 2021) we could define the…

SCS Chemistry Travel Award Congratulations to Ajmal Roshan on receiving the Chemistry Travel Award 2024 from SCNAT and the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) to attend the 45th International Conference on Coordination Chemistry (ICCC) at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA. At the conference, he delivered an insightful talk on…
Thermoresponsive hydrogel engineerineng
Polymeric hydrogels represent a fascinating form of materials that are able to bind water in a polymeric matrix. The very fact that water is bound in this form allows the manipulation of water storage and release as well as properties such as viscosity. For polymers with stimuli responsive behaviour, these…
Oxidation of 5-HMF to 2,5-FDCA
The collective strive towards a more sustainable and circular economy converges academic and industrial efforts on the increased implementation of biobased raw materials to produce items of daily use such as packaging, bags, bottles etc. Among others, the conversion of carbohydrates to 5-HMF an finally to 2,5-FDCA is a promising…
FFORTESS – Fluorine Free Omniphobic Roughness Tailored Extended Slippery Surfaces
In this Innosuisse funded Project (105.146.1 IP-ENG) we aim to develop robust fluorine free textile coatings for oil and water repellence. Up to date perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are used for oil, stain and water repellence in the textile and coating industry. Due to environmental and health concerns such compounds will…
