Autumn- a time of internships

Our PhD student Andrzej Mular was working at l’École Supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg for one month (12.09-12.10) to investigate recognition and uptake of novel desferrioxamine E analogues in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It was another Short Time Scientific Mission in the frame of Nectar COST Action 18202 done by a member of our team!

During one moth stay (17.10-16.11) our PhD students Bartosz Orzeł and Anna Rola had an opportunity to cooperate with the scientists at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry Petru Poni. Together they studied the molecular structure of metal-peptides complexes. It was also a very good chance to learn a few things about Romanian culture!

People

A Collaborative & Diverse Group

Our people are at the core of what makes the Biological Inorganic Chemistry Group such a unique and fulfilling place to work. We’re proud of the diversity of our staff, with each member contributing their unique skills to the projects we’re working on. Together, we’ve planned and executed some of the most innovative and cutting edge experiments. Find out more about our team members below.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Science

Science

The area of scientific interest covers a broad spectrum of biological inorganic chemistry, otherwise known as bioinorganic or biomedical chemistry, in particular:

• transport and homeostasis of metal ions (including iron, zinc, copper, nickel) in pathogens; the correlation of structure and function in siderophores and other metallophores and their complexes; biomimetic systems
• biomimetics of siderophores as a tool to develop non-invasive, in vivo imaging agents that allow more specific and sensitive diagnostics and differentiation of the source of infection (bacterial/fungal) and drugs based on the Trojan horse strategy
• thermodynamics, structure and function of metal-protein/peptide complexes; interaction of metals with other biomolecules
• the effect of binding of metal ions on fibrillation of proteins involved in neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases; molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease
• metal chelating agents - searching for new effective compounds for the needs of chelation therapy, enzyme inhibition, development of contrast agents
• multi-nuclear coordination compounds and coordination polymers with promising physical and chemical properties
