The course “Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry” (CHE 625) will be given again during the Fall Semester. The first lecture will be held on the 24th of September in the room 34-F-48.

A warm welcome to our new vacation student Angelo who has joined the group today. Angelo will work on the preparation of novel organometallic-containing biomolecules. Good luck!

Congratulations to Cristina and Michelle (a previous internship student) for their New. J. Chem. paper. In this article, the preparation and in-depth characterisation of novel ferrocenyl ligands and of their metal complexes is reported.

Congratulations to Malay for his review on the opportunity that organometallic compounds offer for the chemical biology field of research which is now available as an ASAP article in ChemBioChem. Great work Malay!

Last week, the group made an excursion in the Swiss mountains. After a nice 6h-hike, the group has been “rewarded” with a bbq and a few cold drinks! The pictures of the walk can be seen here!

Congratulations to Tanmaya for his publication in the new journal of the RSC “RSC Adv.”. This paper reports the uptake and interactions of an unmodified PNA oligomer and three Ru(II)-polypyridyl and/or NLS peptide based conjugates with mammalian and bacterial mimetic

Two new publications of our group have been recently accepted. The first one in Curr. Op. Chem. Biol. reviews the potential that organometallic compounds have in medicinal chemistry. The second one in Dalton Trans. describes the opportunities brought by small

A warm welcome to our new Master student Sandro Konatschnig who has joined the group today. Sandro will work on the elaboration and biological evaluation of novel metal-based drug candidates.

Congratulations to Tanmaya for his paper which has been just accepted by Inorg. Chem.! In this full article, the preparation, on the solid support, of Ru-containing PNA oligomers is described. Importantly, the presence of these Ru bioconjuates could be detected
