Congratulations to our PhD students for the best poster awards!
Summer was a busy time for our team, travelling around the world to take part in the various conferences. We are happy to anounce that three of our PhD students were awarded for the best posters!
MSc Bartosz Orzeł has received the best poster award during the 1st International Conference on Metal-Binding Peptides in Nancy, France, 05-08.07.22 for the poster: „Modeling coordination properties of the bacterial metal ions transport system Feo”.
MSc Andrzej Mular has received the best poster award during the 8th International Symposium on Metallomics in Kanasawa, Japan, 10-14.07.22 for the poster: „Iron(III) and gallium(III) complexes of siderophores and their bioimetic analogues- coordination properties and biological activity in vitro and in vivo”.
Msc Paulina Potok has received the best poster award during the 8th EuChemS Chemistry Congress in Lisbon, Portugal, 28.08-01.09.22 for the poster: „The specifity of interaction of Zn(II) and Ni(II) with the a5 domain from mycobacterial SmtB and BigR4 transcription regulators”.

We are happy to announce that the projects of our PhD students were granted in the 6th NECTAR CA18202 Call for STSM Applications!
MSc Paulina Potok is going to investigate the topic: “Exploiting NMR spectroscopy to determine coordination mode of the Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with metallopeptidases” at the University of Siena in Italy (Prof. Daniela Valensin).
MSc Anna Rola is going to visit the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain (Prof. Merce Capdevila) to study “Histidine–rich C–terminal (HRCT) tail of GroEL1 chaperonins as a potential regulator of metal ions concentration in Mycobacterium tuberculosis – study on stoichiometry of metal-HRCT complexes.”
The project “Synthesis of the compounds intended to fit to the flavin mononucleotide riboswitches of Staphylococcus aureus” is going to be implemented by MSc Valentyn Dzyhovski at the University of Ferrara in Italy (Prof. Maurizio Remelli).
We congratulate the grantees and wish them successful research!
Congratulations to our PhD student Andrzej Mular who has been admitted as a Member of The Royal Society of Chemistry!

Covid-19 Update
Dear Colleagues,
As you very well know, the situation with Covid-19 is not improving, and evaluating the safety (and legal possibility) of a meeting that should take place in June is a big gamble.
It was a difficult decision to make, but we finally decided to postpone ISIB (most likely) to 2021. We will be in touch and advise you of the new date. Needless to say, all speakers' invitations remain open. Thank you for your enthusiasm in joining our event.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Wroclaw, once it is again a safe and lively place.
Sincerely,
ISIB organizers

The visit of Prof. Angela Casini,
Chair of Medicinal and Bioinorganic Chemistry, School of Chemistry,
Cardiff University, UK
Professor Angela Casini is visiting the Faculty of Chemistry in the frame of the "Integrated Program of Development of the University of Wroclaw 2018-2022" (POWER), delivering Drug Design course for Medical Chemistry students.
Additionally, on Thursday, April 18th 2019, she is going to give a seminar entitled "Exploiting organometallic and supramolecular chemistry for biomedical applications".
We are pleased to announce that 3 out of 3 scientific projects submitted to the National Science Centre have been qualified for funding!
We are thrilled with joy and start working straight away!
