Trilled that our work on reaction-based nanosensor of neurotransmitters is on the cover @jacs.acspublications.org ! Lock-and-key molecular recognition of dopamine inside lipid nanoreactor triggers a reaction leading to fluorescence turn-on of the nanosensor. @erc.europa.eu @cnrs.fr @unistra.fr

We thank @cnrs.fr for highlighting our work on artificial receptors for detection of neurotransmitters that just came in @jacs.acspublications.org @erc.europa.eu @cnrs.fr @unistra.fr

#ResultatScientifique🔎| Des scientifiques montrent un nanosenseur capable de détecter les neurotransmetteurs avec précision grâce à un système combinant reconnaissance moléculaire et réaction chimique. ✍️ @aklymchenko.bsky.social 📕 @pubs.acs.org 🤝 @cnrs-alsace.bsky.social @unistra.fr

Happy to share our paper in @jacs.acspublications.org on a concept of reaction-based sensing of neurotransmitters driven by a molecular recognition in a lipid nanoreactor. Congrats and thanks to co-authors! @ERC_Research, @unistra.fr @cnrs.fr. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Molecular Recognition-Driven Reaction-Based Sensing of Catecholamines in a Lipid Nanoreactor

Reaction-based sensing is a rapidly expanding principle in the design of fluorescent probes. Although effective for sensing highly reactive species, it is less suitable for more complex small molecule...

An immense honor to receive CNRS Silver medal 2026! I would like to thank my team @unistra.fr @cnrs.fr for their hard work and all our collaborators, Kyiv University for the solid education, and @cnrs.fr for providing me the opportunity to realize my dreams! Merci ! Thank you! Дякую!

Just out in Nanoscale: we found cooperative effects in DNA-functionalized polymeric nanoparticles, important for biosensing & diagnostics. Congrats & thanks to Paraskevi Gaki & startup BrightSens Diagnostics. @unistra.fr, @cnrs.fr, @bpifrance-officiel.bsky.social, #iLab pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Our review on light-harvesting nanomaterials for energy transfer & biosensing is out in Adv Mater! We analyzed literature on optical materials mimicking nature – chlorophyll in plants. Thanks & congrats to co-authors: Deep Biswas & Pascal Didier! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Ready to fly back with @aklymchenko.bsky.social to Paris! Thanks to @faseborg.bsky.social and the organisers for the fantastic event!

Great news: I received ERC Advanced grant #ERCAdG @erc.europa.eu CaptuRel! It aims at intelligent nanomaterials undergoing bioinspired cycle of capture and photorelease of bioactive molecules for sensing and controlling (bio)chemical gradients. Thanks to my Team, @cnrs.fr and @unistra.fr!

Today it is the MINT Day! A good occasion to share science and good moments together. We are really happy to welcome @aklymchenko.bsky.social to open this beautiful day! Thank you very much again for coming ☺️.

It was a great experience to participate in JCS2025 conference on supramolecular chemistry. Thanks @iwonanieren.bsky.social et al for the invitation and organization of this wonderful event!
