Our collaborative work with Santiago Gomez-Ruiz adn Sanjiv Prashar on Ru(II) Complexe Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles is now out in ACS Appl. Bio. Mater. Congrats to Johannes and Diana!

Our article “Polymeric Encapsulation of a Ru(II)-Based Photosensitizer for Folate-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy of Drug Resistant Cancers” has just been accepted in J. Med. Chem. Congratulations to Johannes! Many thanks to our collaborator Mickael Tharaud for his continuous help.

We are very happy to welcome our first Irish group member with Dr. Cillian O’Beirne, who joins our group as a post-doc. Cillian just finished a first post-doc with Prof. Ingo Ott. Cillian is funded by a grant from PSL-Qlife.

We are very happy to welcome our new Greek Msc student Niovi-Georgia Voutsara. She will be working on new bioorganometallic compounds with Harley Betts.

What a week for Maria José who had her ChemBioChem highlight article and her Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. article accepted. Congratulations!

We are very happy to welcome Marie Huynh and Francisca Figueiredo as new Msc students. Marie will work on an industrial project while Francisca will work on a project on PDT recently funded by the ANR.

We are very happy to welcome three new members this week! Diana Melis comes from South Africa where she studied with Prof. Greg Smith at the University of Cape Town. She will undertake a PhD thesis in our group as

Check out our new article about the encapsulation of a Ru(II)-based PDT photosensitizer in a FDA-approved polymer in ACS Appl. Mat. Interfaces. This encapsulation allows for a significantly higher tumour in vivo. Congrats Johannes! Many thanks once again to Hui

We are happy to welcome our new CSC PhD student Youchao Wang. We wish her all the very best for her 3 years in our group in Paris.
