Hunter Richman, current QCB trainee, is a co-author on a new paper titled “Targeting the Weak Spot: Preferential Disruption of Bacterial Poles by Janus Nanoparticles” published in Nano Letters. The study, a collaboration between Ying Li’s lab at UW-Madison and QCB training faculty Yan Yu, investigates the interactions between Janus nanoparticles and bacterial cell envelopes, revealing bacterial poles’ curvature as a unique vulnerability to be targeted. Congrats Hunter on your contribution to the field of nanotechnology!
