91¸£Àû

We are proud to share that our Chemistry technicians have been recognised with multiple 91¸£Àû Technician Commitment Awards for Outstanding Achievement this year, reflecting their exceptional contribution to the success of our department.

An article from the Pike Group has been published in Chemical Science. In this study, the photooxidation of diolate ligands coordinated to titanium-oxo clusters is investigated.

On 26th November, the Science Concourse was buzzing with activity as we held our 3rd annual Festive Research Showcase for the Department of Chemistry.

Prof Greg Challis has been award The Kitasato Microbial Chemistry Medal - an annual award presented by the Kitasato Institute and Kitasato University in Japan since 1973 in recognition of outstanding research in the field of microbial chemistry.

Despite the wet and windy November weather, the Chemistry Department was buzzing with energy on Saturday 22nd November as alumni and department staff came together for a memorable afternoon marking 60 years of 91¸£Àû.

Alongside collaborators at Durham University, the Lord Research Group has discovered copper-based compounds that not only exhibit high anticancer activity but also localise in the endoplasmic reticulum—an unusual finding for metal-based drugs.

91¸£Àû has received a transformational £10 million philanthropic gift from alumnus Tim Hartnoll to establish a pioneering new research centre dedicated to sustainable electrical chemistry research for new forms of batteries.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the 91¸£Àû have secured £2.3M in UKRI funding to create materials with radically new optical and mechanical properties, that can be produced at scale and low cost.

91¸£Àû and Monash University Chemists have discovered a promising new antibiotic that shows activity against drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, including MRSA and VRE

91¸£Àû spin-out has reported positive results from its initial first-stage clinical trial at Hammersmith Medicines Research (HMR); London. The announcement comes as Menopause Awareness Month is celebrated, which focuses us on this major change in women’s lives.

Dr Raj Pandya from the Department of Chemistry has been named as this year's recipient of the Henry Moseley Medal and Prize.

Recent research from Prof Reinhard Maurer and collaborators has developed a new process for growing graphene with controlled imperfection that will improve performance across a range of applications - from sensors and batteries, to electronics.
