Doctoral Researcher Kameyab Raza Abidi investigated the fundamental behavior of atomically thin metallenes using state-of-the-art computational approaches. Kameyab Raza Abidi debates on Friday 6.6.2025.

Postdoctoral researcher Visa Ruokolainen has received €30,000 funding from the Sakari Alhopuro Foundation to study intranuclear processes of herpesvirus infected cells. The herpes simplex virus 1 is also used as an oncolytic viral drug to combat cancers.

Recycling silver from waste is becoming important for securing the supply of the precious metal. The University of Jyväskylä were collaborating with the University of Helsinki to develop a new method for extracting silver from electronic waste.

Researchers at the Nanoscience Center have isolated giant viruses for the first time in Finland. The finding indicates that giant viruses are more prevalent than thought in soil and water, even in northern environments.

Researchers have developed an innovative ratiometric fluorosensor. The sensor can be used as a novel viral RNA sensing platform which offers a much-needed possibility to detect real-time viral RNA appearance during infection.

Five international researchers will begin their projects at the University of Jyväskylä after securing funding from Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
