Ah that's tomorrow....better write my talk! Why not join on-line and hear all about molecules that bind DNA and RNA junctions?

cool work from Isabel Esain and Larry Melidis Siskin. Congratulations!

congratulations Rob Neely and all the team. Great to see this going from strength to strength. Proud of you and that Sci-Phy brought you to UoBChemistry and helped get this exciting research going.

ICCC is happening in Fort Collins, Colorado this summer. See you there!

Honoured to give the inaugural Kirsty Smitten lecture at Sheffield Department of Chemistry today. Kirsty was an inspirational role model for women in science & innovation. Photo of the plaque unveiled today by her brother and Innovate UK Innovate UK Kirsty Smitten MetalloBio

Huge welcome to our new graduate research student cohort at UoBChemistry Uni of Birmingham. Lots of friendships being forged already over coffee and cake! We are really looking forward to new the great science you will develop in the coming years. Good luck everyone!

Great to see Zoe PikramenouGroup UoBChemistry talking with the water industry, policy makers and UK parliamentarians about detecting pollutants in our water. Let's get this sorted!

congratulations to Subhendu Karmakar @samdettmer99 and Catherine Hooper from Mike Hannon on this super paper!

An enzyme overexpressed in cancer cells, transforms an inert large supramolecular complex into a DNA Junction Binder! With NAND logic control, and a fascinating role for entropy in controlling binding, read it at doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Thanks Angewandte Chemie ....excited to see this out and looking forward to what the community thinks about this entropic prevention of binding! Well done to the Mike Hannon team: Subhendu Karmakar Sam Dettmer and Catherine Hooper from Mike Hannon UoBChemistry !

Delighted to see this accepted in Angewandte Chemie. Pt metallo-cage binds very strongly to DNA 4-way junctions. Congratulations to Sam Dettmer and Hugo. Great to work with Tim Craggs - Exciting CEO The University of Sheffield , Joe Beames UoBChemistry Richard Napier University of Warwick doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Board of Trustees TUM Institute for Advanced Study met today, celebrating 20 years of TUM-IAS! 266 Fellows, > 4000 publications, great science and a growing diversity. Congratulations all! So happy to help this fabulous Institute for Advanced Study continue to develop. TU München

Calling all coordination chemists! ICCC 2026 (Denmark /Sweden) - in Odense next year. Propose sessions on your favourite topics NOW... but be quick! iccc2026.com Great planning meeting today led by Christine McKenzie. Lots to look forward to… See you there!

Great postdoc opportunity at the chemistry-biology interface working with our team and those of Nik Hodges and PikramenouGroup on metallo-drug nanoparticles against cancer. Come and join us! UoBChemistry UoB Biosciences Uni of Birmingham

Proud supervisor moment as PhD student @samdettmer99 from @hannongroup UoBChemistry MIBTP Uni of Birmingham gives a wonderful lecture at #Bioinorganic ISABC-2025 in Sweden, and then wins a prize for his excellent talk too...Well done Sam!

Four scientists from the School have won prizes from Royal Society of Chemistry – Prof Steve Goldup the Corday-Morgan Prize, Prof O'Reilly O'Reilly group the Tilden Prize, Nathan Davison the Dalton Emerging Researcher Prize and a team led by Prof Stavros the Horizon Prize birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/birm…

This recognition for Zoe's i-motif and other work is super well deserved! Congratulations Zoë!

Congratulations Lauren for winning a poster prize At RSC Photophysics and Photochemistry conference #proudsupervisor moment PikramenouGroup UoBChemistry

congratulations Steve...

Woo-hoo! Congratulations Lauren and PikramenouGroup. We are all very proud of you!
