Publications
Co-authored the research article "Adsorption of alpha-synuclein and inhibition of fibril formation by nanocellulose and gold-coated-nanocellulose," published in the Springer Nature journal Cellulose (March 2024, Vol. 31, Issue
6). This study explores how nanocellulose-based materials can interact with alpha-synuclein to reduce fibril formation, which is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. I contributed to experimental work and data analysis focused on the role of nanomaterials in protein aggregation.
