Our recent paper in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. reporting the photoactivation of an inert Ru(II) polypridyl complex has been highlighted in Chimia. Congratulations to Tanmaya, Vanessa and Lea.

An article reporting the results of our collaborative work with PD Dr. Bernhard Spingler on the use of Platinum-Porphyrin conjugates in PDT has been accepted in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Congratulations to Anu and Riccardo!

Welcome to Assia Nouar, our first French student in the group! Assia will undertake part of her Master thesis in our group working on the preparation of enzyme inhibitors.

Welcome to Giuseppe Martano who is joining our group for an internship through the BNF program! Giuseppe will work on synthesis of organometallic compounds.

Congratulations to Jeannine, Sandro, Sandra and Vanessa for their paper, which has been just accepted in Inorg. Chem. This article reports the first mercury-free synthesis of SCF3-containing metallocenes.

Our recent paper in Chem. Eur. J. reporting the anticancer activity of a Re organometallic compound has been highlighted in ChemistryViews.

Welcome to our two new Master students Lea Gemperle and Sandra Morard. Lea will work on the preparation of organometallic-based antiparasitic drug candidates while Sandra will investigate the use of Ru(II) complexes as anticancer agents. We are also welcoming today

Welcome to David Nipkow who is joining our group to undertake his Master thesis in our group. David will work on the preparation of metal-based enzyme inhibitors. Make it happen!

Philipp’s invited article on the potential of PNAs in bio-nanotechnology has been just accepted in Chimia. This short review presents the recent advances on the use of PNAs in this field of research. Congratulations!

Gilles joins the editorial board of the journal Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy from the publisher Elsevier. This journal is specialised on reporting recent advances (fundamental research and clinical outcomes) in the field of PDT.
