Our latest collaborative preprint from the group and @kilbinger-group.bsky.social is out - tinyurl.com/3bbrfyhw - we've been looking at creating stably folded, helical, and polyfluorinated transmembrane channels with rates of water transport exceeding Aquaporins. Great to see the manuscript up!

The Kilbinger Group at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, is seeking two highly motivated PhD candidates to join our research team. more information at: kilbinger.net

First pre-print out from our collaboration with @kilbinger-group.bsky.social @saquiblone.bsky.social at tinyurl.com/yu6k4my3 - looking at how aromatic foldamers can be highly effective, salt excluding, water channels!
