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

After a few weeks holiday, Jeannine is starting her PhD thesis in our group. Good luck and lots of success!

Last Saturday, we had a “raclette evening” to celebrate the coming festive season. 3.7 Kg of cheese (we were only 10…) and a few bottles of wine later, Anita and Danny were declared the winners of the evening – they

Congratulations to Jeannine who brilliantly passed her Master exam! You can see nice pictures of the after-exam party here! After a few well-deserved weeks of holiday, Jeannine will start her PhD thesis in our group in January 2012.

Two papers have been just accepted. In an article in Eur. J. Inorg. Chem., we report on the first preparation of di-hetero-organometallic-containing Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) Bioconjugates. In the second paper which has been accepted in Dalton Trans., we describe

We have profited of the stunning autumn weather in Zurich to take a few pictures of our group. Have a look at them here!
