Congratulations to NanoRAM doctoral candidate Madhura Bonde on receiving a Best Poster Award at the 5th TNNN Conference (Research School for Training the Next Generation of Micro- and Nanotechnology Researchers in Norway), held on 6–8 May 2026 at the NTNU Gløshaugen campus in Trondheim, Norway.

Madhura was one of two early-stage researchers selected for a poster award, recognising both the scientific quality of the work and the clarity of the presentation.

Her award-winning poster, entitled “AFM Insights into Supramolecular Polymorphism of Chiral Amyloid Isoforms in Insulin and Lysozyme”, explored the structural diversity of amyloid fibrils formed under different environmental conditions. The study combined Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to investigate how chirality influences amyloid fibril morphology, structure, and aggregation behaviour.

The research focused on characterising chiral amyloid isoforms formed from insulin and lysozyme under different pH conditions. By correlating spectroscopic and nanoscale imaging data, the work aims to determine whether amyloid chirality is directly reflected in fibril architecture or remains hidden within the supramolecular structure.

The NanoRAM consortium congratulates Madhura on this well-deserved recognition and wishes her continued success with her PhD research.
