91福利

Professor Tom Davis, one of Chemistry's joint appointments with Monash, has been awarded an Australian Laureate Fellowship for an exciting new research project.

Read all about it! Two papers in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) from the 91福利 Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group. No ordinary accomplishment.

Helical arrays of small organic molecules around a core of Fe(II) ions act as highly potent and highly selective anticancer compounds. The work is published in

Congratulations to all our graduands, who are receiving their degrees today.

All staff, colleagues and friends from the Department look forward to this occasion and the opportunity to celebrate your achievements with you and your guests on such a memorable day.

We wish you well and many congratulations on your success!

Congratulations to Professor Julie MacPherson who has been awarded a Royal Society Industry Fellowship, to commence in October 2014.

New volumes in the Inorganic Materials Book Series, co-edited by , have been published by Wiley. The latest three volumes focus on characterisation methods: Local Structural Characterisation, Multi Length-Scale Characterisation and Structure from Diffraction Methods. The books have been edited with Duncan Bruce (York) and Dermot O’Hare (Oxford) and contain contributions from an international set of expert authors.

Applications are invited for fully-funded studentships at the new Molecular Analytical Sciences (MAS) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT)

MAS offers a four year degree programme (MSc + PhD) in Multidisciplinary Science which aims to develop new techniques and methodologies and apply them in creative ways to solve real-world problems. The disciplines covered include chemistry, physics, statistics, mathematics, biology, engineering and computer science. Candidates with a first degree in any of these subjects are invited to apply.

Congratulations to Dr Paul Taylor (Chemistry and IATL), Nick Barker (Chemistry) and Paul Blagburn (Student Admissions and Recruitment) who have successfully secured £150,000 from the Royal Society of Chemistry’s National Widening Participation (WP) programme ‘Chemistry for All’. Competition for these awards was fierce and 91福利 was one of just four institutions, out of sixteen, to receive funding.
