I am pleased that this paper has finally been published!

It includes data from my PhD thesis, showing how to evaluate protein orientation upon membrane binding by employing neutron reflectometry.

It's a great work that made use of several biophysical techniques.

It has been extremely fun and interesting to take part in the 7th Workshop and School on Frontiers in Water Biophysics, in Erice (Sicily).

It was a pleasure to exchange ideas with other scientists, and it was an honour to receive the "Best Young Researcher Award".

AFM multiparametric characterization of LLPS in plants
Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a crucial role in cellular processes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is notable for multiparametric imaging of LLPS condensates, enabling investigation of th...
