Fransiska has won the Norton Jackson Medal for her PhD thesis. The Norton Jackson Material Science and Engineering Medal recognises the achievements of graduates. The medal is awarded annually to a PhD graduate or graduand who has completed their PhD in the previous year and has demonstrated the most potential or real application of research in industry.
In the Voelcker lab, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between nanostructured materials and human cells and tissues, and their biomolecular products. To that effect, we are developing nanostructured materials and surface chemistries, with a focus on electrochemically etched meso- and macroporous materials. These systems are then optimised for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine and others.
