Evaluation of cell disruption technologies on magnetosome chain length and aggregation behaviour from Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 (2023)
Journal Article
Masó-Martínez, M., Fryer, B., Aubert, D., Peacock, B., Lees, R., Rance, G. A., Fay, M. W., Topham, P. D., & Fernández-Castané, A. (2023). Evaluation of cell disruption technologies on magnetosome chain length and aggregation behaviour from Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 11, Article 1172457. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2023.1172457

Magnetosomes are biologically-derived magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) naturally produced by magnetotactic bacteria (MTB). Due to their distinctive characteristics, such as narrow size distribution and high biocompatibility, magnetosomes represent an at...

An inkjet-printable fluorescent thermal sensor based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots immobilised in a silicone matrix (2022)
Journal Article
Birchall, L., Foerster, A., Rance, G., Terry, A., Wildman, R., & Tuck, C. (2022). An inkjet-printable fluorescent thermal sensor based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots immobilised in a silicone matrix. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 347, Article 113977. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2022.113977


The drive towards device miniaturisation in fields such as microfluidics or microelectronics has established a need for non-intrusive, in situ temperature sensing, which is difficult to implement and manufacture in devices. Inkjet... Read More about An inkjet-printable fluorescent thermal sensor based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots immobilised in a silicone matrix.

Structure-Activity Relationships of Benzenesulfonamide-Based Inhibitors towards Carbonic Anhydrase Isoform Specificity (2016)
Journal Article
Bhatt, A., Mahon, B. P., Cruzeiro, V. W. D., Cornelio, B., Laronze-Cochard, M., Ceruso, M., Sapi, J., Rance, G. A., Khlobystov, A. N., Fontana, A., Roitberg, A., Supuran, C. T., & McKenna, R. (2017).

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are implicated in a wide range of diseases, including the upregulation of isoforms CA IX and XII in many aggressive cancers. However, effective inhibition of disease-implicated CAs should minimally affect the ubiquitously ex...

Chemical reactions confined within carbon nanotubes (2016)
Journal Article
Miners, S. A., Rance, G. A., & Khlobystov, A. N. (2016). Chemical reactions confined within carbon nanotubes. Chemical Society Reviews, 45(17), 4727-4746. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cs00090h

In this critical review, we survey the wide range of chemical reactions that have been confined within carbon nanotubes, particularly emphasising how the pairwise interactions between the catalysts, reactants, transition states and products of a part...

Regioselective control of aromatic halogenation reactions in carbon nanotube nanoreactors (2013)
Journal Article
Miners, S. A., A. Rance, G., & N. Khlobystov, A. (2013). Regioselective control of aromatic halogenation reactions in carbon nanotube nanoreactors. Chemical Communications, 5586-5588. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3cc42414f

The use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as effective nanoreactors for preparative chemical reactions has been demonstrated for the first time. Extreme spatial confinement of reactant molecules inside nanotubes has been shown to drastically affect b...
