Farewell to Mrs. Kazimiera Zacharska
News
It is with great sadness that we said goodbye yesterday to Mrs. Kazimiera Zacharska, who lost the fight against cancer. Kazia was associated with the project of the International Research Agenda from the very beginning and was the administrative driving force behind the prepared proposals. We will thankfully keep her in our memories.

ICRI-BioM is seeking a young researcher to fill up a full-time research position in the laboratory of Dr. Christopher M. Plummer ICRI-BioM is an International Research Agenda, established within Lodz University of Technology under the Foundation for Polish Science MAB PLUS Program in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz. It aims at the creation of an excellent scientific unit that focuses on combining polymer chemistry with molecular biosystems engineering experimentally and with the aid of computational sciences. It is expected that the collaboration and synergy between these groups, local scientific environment, and international cooperation will lead to breakthrough research in basic and applied sciences. This position will involve a research project at the intersection of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry. Topics including monomer synthesis and polymerization, as well as topics relating to post‑polymerization modification. Qualifications Candidates should have completed their PhD degree not longer than 5 years prior. Expected skills include: Experience in organic synthesis Experience in polymer chemistry Experience with NMR and GPC/SEC (preferably also FT-IR, GC-MS, DSC, TGA) Capability and interest to present results in international publications, national and international conferences, patents, etc Good command of both spoken and written English We offer Gross monthly salary in the range 7500-9500 PLN (plus 13th salary) Starting date after January 1st Contract until the end of 2023 (ca. 2 year contract, with conditional renewal) Full public health insurance Recruitment Interested candidates are requested to e-mail the following documentation (in PDF format) Cover letter Brief CV (up to 2 pages) A summary of research experience (up to 2 pages - a brief outline of experience / projects) Up to 5 key research achievements (e.g. full texts of publications) by December 31st, 2021 to: Dr. Christopher M.

In mid of October, ICRI-BioM was awarded with a MINITURA5 grant. The project nr 2021/05/X/ST4/00572 entitled “Stimuli responsive systems based on squalene functionalized with ESIPT dyes” was written by Dr. Franciela Arenhart Soares, a post-doctoral researcher in Professor Alexander Steinbüchel’s group. The project will contribute to the ICRI-BioM budget with more than 40,000 zlotys, with an estimated duration of one year and will be developed at ICRI-BioM facilities held at Technical University of Lodz. ESIPT (excited stated intramolecular proton transfer) dyes are considered privileged scaffolds due to their large range of applications and unique properties such as a sizeable Stokes shift and solid state fluorescence emission in the visible region. Due to the dynamic nature of the proton transfer, the fluorescence emission can be turned on/off by exposure to light. For these reasons, ESIPT dyes are very promising to design responsive materials. The project will encompass to obtain a new family of ESIPT dyes, as well their application in the functionalization important biomolecules like squalene.
