Great honour for Gilles who joins the Editorial Advisory Board of J. Biol. Inorg. Chem.

Congratulations to Johannes for his latest article accepted in Inorganics. This paper reporting on the use of Fe(II) complexes as anticancer agents and PDT photosensitizers is the result of a nice collaboration with Dr. Philippe Goldner from Chimie ParisTech, PSL

Congratulations to Yih Ching and Saonli for their review that has just been accepted in Chem. Rev. on the use of metal complexes against Neglected Tropical Diseases. This is a review with our esteemed colleague Prof. Phil Andrews from Monash

A nice interview of our new post-doc can be found here!

You can find a little interview of Gilles here

Our article with Prof. Jennifer Keise has just been accepted in Parasites & Vectors. Congratulations to Valentin and Jeannine. If you want to see very cool SEM images of schistosomes “attacked” by organometallic compounds, then just look https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-018-3132-x

We are very happy to welcome our first Alexander von Humboldt post-doc Sarah Keller. Sarah has just finished a PhD thesis with Prof. Ed Constable at the University of Basel (Switzerland). Sarah will work on the preparation of organometallic compounds

Our work on the encapsulation of Re(I)-based PDT photosensitizers into core-crosslinked star polymer nanoparticles with Mikey Whittaker and Thomas Davis from  Monash University (Australia) and Stefano Ferrari from the University of Zurich (Switzerland) is now out in J. Mat. Chem.

Congratulations to Marta for her review article that has been accepted in Chem. Commun.!

Our article on the utilisation of ferrocenyl derivatives of mefloquine against schistosomiasis is now out in MedChemComm! It is really great to collaborate with Prof. Jennifer Keiser! Congrats to Faustine, Jeannine, Gordana, Lea and Marta!
