How cool is that? Our latest discovery on the interaction of the SARS-CoV 2 spike proteins on different surfaces is online in Chemical Science

Curtin University expert Nadim Darwish and PhD candidate Essam Dief have found the spike of proteins of #COVID-19 become trapped when they encounter silicon, gold and copper and that electric fields can be used to destroy the spike proteins and kill the virus. bit.ly/3ZoSaTe

Checkout the front cover for our recent article Chemical Science. This exciting research is something we are very keen to continue!@CurtinChem. Thanks for the brilliant designer of the cover @mollyk_p and her team!

Checkout our latest - a review article in Nature Chemistry! rdcu.be/daUme Curtin MLS, Curtin Chemistry, Essam Dief. It was great to collaborate with professors Paul Low and Ismael Díez-Pérez @ BioMolecular Electronics Group. We literally started writing this when we were young! (2020). Congrats Dr Essam!

Congratulations to my Ex-supervisor Nadim Darwish and his team on their great work on protecting Silicon from oxidation by surface deuteration!



Congratulations to my supervisor and mentor Prof. Justin Gooding (Gooding Group )for receiving the David Craig Medal for his outstanding contribution to surface chemistry and biosensors. Justin is not only a great scientist but also an incredible and inspiring person!

Congratulations to all eight recipients of the Industry Laureate Fellowships announced today by the Australian Research Council, including Academy Fellows Professors David Keith FAA & Justin Gooding FAA FTSE. rms.arc.gov.au/RMS/Report/Dow…



I am very happy to see my ex-boss (PhD supervisor) Nadim Darwish as an ARC Future Fellow to develop smart antiviral surfaces. I had great 4 years of PhD working with Nadim and still doing some cool stuff.
