The latest research of his team was highlighted in the 2020 biannual Emerging Investigator themed issue of Polymer Chemistry (a journal by The Royal Society of Chemistry – RSC)

Great job – well deserved! We all wish you the best for your future endeavours!

The paper describes the preparation of a protein nanoparticle system based on cytochrome c, which was modified with acid-degradable polyethylene glycol. The degradable PEG polymer was developed in the Frey group. It contains vinyl ether moieties distributed in the polyether backbone, which enables particle degradation at slightly acidic pH.
