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.

Congratulations to Tanmaya and Vanessa for their new paper, which has been just accepted in ChemMedChem. This article reports on an extensive structure-activity relationship on inert Ru(II) complexes.

Our collaboration with Teresa Gianferrara, Enzo Alessio (both at the University of Trieste, Italy) and with Roger Alberto (University of Zurich) led to a new publication in ChemMedChem. Thanks to everyone involved in this project related to bioimaging and PDT.
