Lucia recently visited the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Italy to kick off a new research collaboration supported by the Royal Society International Exchanges programme. The visit provided an opportunity to meet with collaborators, explore new approaches combining peptide chemistry, biological barrier models and AI-based image analysis, and discuss the next steps of the project. The collaboration aims to improve our understanding of how peptides interact with brain-relevant biological barriers, bringing together complementary expertise across disciplines. We look forward to developing this collaboration and welcoming further scientific exchanges between Queen’s University Belfast and IIT!
