When we asked a student to make acetonide protected bis-MPA on a LARGE scale this is not what we had in mind! Seriously though, hats off to this humble little molecule, which is the first step towards synthesizing ground-breaking dendritic materials.

Our new study in JACS describes an antibiotic-free wound dressing material for treating multidrug-resistant bacteria. The dressing is based on cationic dendritic hydrogels, which also induce advantageous immunomodulatory effects in human keratinocytes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Our AdhFix method for fixating bone fractures has been published in Advanced Functional Materials! See onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… on how we combined shapeability of composites with the strength of metal screw fixation. Thanks to @KAWstiftelsen for funding @Sodersjukhuset @RISEsweden

Check out our latest paper! This technology uses the the most sophisticated dendrimers available, with internal and external functionalities, to produce advanced antibacterial hydrogels without the need for any silver or antibiotics! mdpi.com/1420-3049/26/8/2364

There is an exciting doctoral position available in our group for a candidate with a background in polymer chemistry or related engineering field. The project is in nanomedicine for the development tomorrow's dendritic drug delivery systems. Apply below! academicpositions.com/ad/kth…

We should aim towards streamlining the development of nanomedicine by making ever-more complex systems via exceedingly simple approaches. Find out how we did it in our latest manuscript in Small @AdvSciNews #nanomedicine #drugdelivery #dopa #nanotherapy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We are thrilled that Polymer Factory has been approved for listing at Spotlight Stock Market! Founded in 2006 by Malkoch at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Polymer Factory is now a leading provider of advanced dendritic and polymeric nanomaterials: news.cision.com/polymer-fact…

Our recent work is on the cover of Advanced Functional Materials! #hydrogel #drugdelivery #antibacterial #dendrimer #biomaterial #nanomedicine onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

This week, BMB and @KTHuniversity @Sodersjukhuset @RISEsweden initiated preclinical trials on DendroPrime precoated metal implants! Gratitude to @KAWstiftelsen @vinnovase @medtech4health @swelife for support. #medicaldevice #fracture #bone #tissue #biomaterial #adhesives

Warm welcome to a new postdoc in our group! Natalia is from Spain, and she is skilled in the synthesis of advanced dendrimers for biomedical applications. Her work in the Malkoch Lab will be on an intriguing new dendritic system inspired by nature... #biomedical #dendrimers

We are happy to have a new PhD student in our group, Jorge is from Spain and has expertise in dendrimer chemistry. His work will form part of the BoneFix project to develop highly advanced materials. Warm welcome! @JorgeSanJacint1 #BoneFix #dendrimers #H2020

In the Malkoch Lab we made hybrid hydrogels based on cationic dendrimers and cellulose nanofibrils in a simple approach. These biocompatible and nontoxic dendrimers showed 100% killing efficacy against high concentrations of bacteria, have a read! mdpi.com/1999-4923/12/12/113…

We are pleased to have a new postdoc in our group with skills in dendrimer chemistry! Noemi Molina, from Spain, will be working on the BoneFix project to build some high tech components! #BoneFix #H2020 #HorizonEurope

We made robust and sophisticated hydrogel platforms for tissue engineering and regeneration. These synthetic hydrogels can be easily tuned to match the moduli of a range of tissues, exciting work! @MikeSierraFox @lisafortuinj @JPolymSci @KAWstiftelsen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We have concluded a very successful 1st Annual BoneFix Meeting hosted by KTH! We look forward to the next four years of collaboration in realizing this revolutionary bone adhesive technology! #BoneFix #H2020 #HorizonEurope

We have made highly sophisticated hybrid dendritic hydrogels that are able to deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic antibiotics. As band aids, these far outperformed commercial silver-doped competitors! @KAWstiftelsen onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @KTHresearch @karolinskainst

Tune in to the EIC Innovation Council seminar at KTH Horizon Europe Week zoom from 13.00 till 14.00 to hear Michael and Dan speak about their experience writing and coordinating their H2020 FET-proactive proposal BoneFix. #BoneFix #HorizonEurope #H2020 kth-se.zoom.us/j/61376195339

We have reached unprecedented heights in the development of degradable dendritic PEGs over at the Malkoch Lab. The applications are endless for these ultra high MW, perfectly monodisperse structures! @ACSPublications @Biomac_ACS @KTHresearch pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

BoneFix is LIVE at Future Tech Week 2020! Join us now, between 9.30 and 11.00, for a webinar via Zoom using the link kth-se.zoom.us/j/64318510550
