Our first photoswitchable channel, controlled by three separate stimuli, is now up on ChemRxiv! tinyurl.com/3m4umy3d - we use fluorinated azobenzenes and a pillar[5]arene core to modulate ion transport using light, pH, and guest, modulating initial rates 170-fold. Collaboration with Wallace Lab@KCL!

Delighted to see our first collaboration with @kilbinger-group.bsky.social on foldamer water channels with high salt exclusion online at @angewandtechemie.bsky.social tinyurl.com/ez352x99

First pre-print out from our collaboration with
@kilbinger-group.bsky.social @saquiblone.bsky.social
at tinyurl.com/yu6k4my3 - looking at how aromatic foldamers can be highly effective, salt excluding, water channels!

Come and join my group @thecrick.bsky.social
- we have a PhD tinyurl.com/rhtfbdx4 in metal-peptidic cages and high affinity binders, and will advertise a 3 year PDRA in December for a Chemical Biologist with synthetic and cell work experience. Email if interested, retweets appreciated!
