Researchers from U of T Mississauga explore use of light-activated treatment to target wider variety of cancers #UofT 🔬 uoft.me/8ik

Thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to hear from and meet many innovators and pioneers in the field of chemistry in Canada!

Our new paper with Art Winter & The Lautens Group on the photo-uncaging of beta-lapachone via a radical based mechanism has been published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Huge congratulations to Esther Kaye & Ivonne Rebeca Lopez-Miranda for their hard work on the expansion of the photochemical toolbox.
