Synthesis, multiscale-multiphase characterization and applications of thiophene-based biohybrids
… So far, very few examples of thiophene-based biohybrids have been reported. The aim of this Ph. D thesis has been the development of oligothiophene-oligonucleotide hybrid derivatives as tools, on one side, to detect DNA hybridisation events and, on the other, as model compounds to investigate …

Rational Engineering of Bacteria and Biohybrids for Enhanced Transport and Colonization in the Tumor Microenvironment
One of the principal impediments to the broad success of conventional chemotherapy is poor delivery to and transport within the tumor microenvironment (TME), caused by irregular and leaky vasculature, the lack of functional lymphatics, and underscored by the overproduction of extracellular matrix …

Tailoring the redox enzyme-material interface for enhanced electro- and photocatalytic fuel synthesis
… In addition, the resulting non-covalent biohybrids are expected to be fragile to external stimuli such as pH and salt concentration. Therefore, in this thesis, an in-depth characterisation of the enzyme-electrode interface is combined with insights into the effect of material surface …

Modulating adipogenesis via signaling pathways and cellular redox state
… grafts for reconstructive purposes. These biohybrids represent a promising tool to replace soft tissue defects resulting from deep burns, tumor resections, or congenital deformities to restore the modeling and protecting effects of the subcutaneous fat layer. Future application of nitric …

Semi-Artificial Photoelectrochemistry through Perovskite Integration and Elucidation of the Local Environment
… evolved for specific fuel-forming reactions. The biohybrids combine the benefits of both photovoltaic and bioelectrochemical fields to achieve light-driven selective catalysis, with greater efficiency than natural or artificial systems alone. However, at the interface of fields the fundamental …

Photoelectrochemical fuel synthesis using organic semiconductors with (bio)molecular catalysts
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices offer great promise for simultaneous solar light harvesting and chemical storage, converting water and CO2 into value-added products. While progress has been made to improve their solar-to-fuel conversion efficiencies, most conventional prototypes face challenges …
