We sponsored the three best poster awards and would like to congratulate Hugo Brummer, Chloé Manseau and Andreia Malafaia for being selected as the winners 🙌 Find out more about our winners on our blog 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ehWuSqzG

Journal of Materials Chemistry B is pleased to present a themed collection on 'Materials chemistry of fluorescence bioimaging' guest edited by Sijie Chen, Tony James, Apurba Koner and Ben Zhong Tang 💡 Fluorescence imaging is a predominant method employed in biological and biomedical research. This powerful technique utilises fluorescent probes that emit light upon excitation, enabling non-invasive and real-time observation of specific targets within the living system. It assists researchers in localizing specific proteins in tissue, visualizing subcellular structures, studying cell organization, monitoring the bio-microenvironment, and even conducting image-guided surgery. From fundamental biological studies to biomedical applications, fluorescence bioimaging continues to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the complex biological world and provide us with powerful tools for diagnosis or treatment. Therefore, this collection aims to provide a platform for recent developments in this rapidly evolving field including research on fluorescence bioimaging with novel probes, design or synthetic strategies of fluorescent probes, theoretical understanding of fluorescent probe properties and working mechanisms, and new insights into the materials chemistry of fluorescence bioimaging. We are so excited to share the excellent research in the collection and encourage you to discover the articles for free until 1 May 2025 🔗https://lnkd.in/e8SnpkUf The Guest Editors present an Editorial introducing the collection and some of the featured research.

We're delighted to announce that Duncan Graham has been appointed as Editor-in-Chief of our companion journal, Chemical Society Reviews! 🥳 Check out the video below where Duncan speaks about taking the role of Editor-in-Chief and his ambitions for the journal. "We want to be known as an influential journal within the chemistry community, articulating future directions, using key opinion leaders to set out those directions and give critical appraisals, but also to jump on new trends and to champion where areas are going to be important for addressing societal challenges, such as energy challenges, climate change, sustainability. All of these topics are hugely important, and ChemSocRev can be of huge impact and benefit to humankind and society at large." Find out more on our webpage 👉 https://lnkd.in/etaPXD7X
