This work has been widely recognized by peers.
Prof. Samuel Gellman, University of Wisconsin - a pioneer in the field of Biopolymers, praised these findings (see the Chemical science magazine for a highlight of this work).
In a post-publication review entitled "Polyacrylamide: 'It's not just for electrophoresis anymore.," Prof. Anthony Czarnik, University of Nevada, USA, a distinguished molecular biologist, rated this work as "exceptional".
