Read the First 10th Anniversary Reflection Article in Materials Horizons

05 Mar 2024

As part of celebrating their 10th anniversary, Materials Horizons will be publishing a series of Reflection articles from researchers who published during the first year of the journal’s existence. In these articles, researchers will reflect on their first publication in Materials Horizons and discuss how their published work has impacted the field at large, and how the field has progressed over the last decade.

The first of these articles how now been published from Prof. Vincent Rotello (University of Massachusetts Amherst), where he discusses his 2013 publication, “Protein coronas suppress the hemolytic activity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanoparticles.”

Click here to read Prof. Rotello’s reflections on his work from the inaugural issue of Materials Horizons, and how his exploration of nanoparticle hyodrophobicty and the role of protein coronas contributed to the field of nanomedicine.

RSC Chemical Biology 2022 Outstanding Paper Award

01 Nov 2023

In September, RSC Chemical Biology announced the winning publication of their 2022 Outstanding Paper Award, which was selected by the journal’s Editorial Board and intended to highlight a publication in RSC Chemical Biology with both strong scientific merits and a large potential future impact on the field as a whole. The winning paper was: “OligoTRAFTACs: A generalizable method for transcription factor degradation,” from Kusal T. G. Samarasinghe, Elvira An, Miriam A. Genuth, Ling Chu, Scott A. Holley, and Craig M. Crews.

To honor the recipients of this award, RSC Chemical Biology is presenting an upcoming webinar at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, November 21st, featuring a presentation from the paper’s corresponding author, Prof. Craig Crews (Yale University), as well as a presentation from Prof. Michelle Arkin (University of California, San Francisco), an Editorial Board Member for RSC Chemical Biology.
