Congratulations to Brigitte Städler and Rikke Louise Meyer who have been appointed professors in bionanoscience at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University. The appointments are effective as of 1 April 2023.

Researchers have created a radical new view of how immune cells recognise threats such as viruses. The discovery could be used to design better vaccines and to gain a deeper insight into autoimmune diseases and allergies.

Researchers from Aarhus University and Berkeley Laboratory have designed RNA molecules, that folds into nanoscale rectangles, cylinders, and satellites, and have studied their 3D structure and dynamics with advanced nanotechnological methods. In an article in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers describe their work and how it has led…
