#Nanoparticles are potent tools for #nanomedicine but understanding their interaction with #proteins is challenging. We performed #experiments and #simulations to characterize the time-evolution of the #soft and hard-corona they form in a great collaboration with @marco_monopoli

Very sad news... Rudi Podgornik @rpodgornik was an international leader in #softmatter and a brilliant mind with very broad interests. We will miss him.

Sadly, Prof. Podgornik @rpodgornik unexpectedly passed away https://t.co/narukCkigM I still have his comments about possible effects of charge regulation on my last works and the collaboration he proposed over my desk. A big loss for our SoftMatter theory scientific community.

What a wonderful experience!! Yesterday, I enjoyed discussing #water's unique properties with 20 challenging 11-year-old minds. They asked me so many intelligent questions for 2h! Thanks to our hosts, Istituto Italiano Statale Comprensivo di Barcellona and Prof. Marcello Bizzarri
