After a thorough lab cleanup, we're all set to kick off the new academic year! ✨ We marked the occasion with some well-deserved beers and sushi. Looking forward to welcoming our new Master's and PhD students! 👩🏾‍🔬👨🏼‍🔬

🎉 Thrilled to share our latest review: "From #Nanozymes to Multi‐Purpose #Nanomaterials: The Potential of Metal–Organic Frameworks for Proteomics Applications" Explore how #MOFs are driving innovation in #proteomics and beyond! Wiley Chemistry doi.org/10.1002/adhm.2…

Exciting News! Our latest research in collaboration with De Roo Lab on #Zirconium #OxoClusters is published in #SmallScience. Congrats JIKSON P MATHEW! 👏 Want to know more about different zirconium-based catalysts for esterification reactions? Check out: 🔗doi.org/10.1002/smsc.2…

Happy to share the results of Edinara Luiz' research stay at LBC are now published in Chemical Science! 🌎🇧🇷🇧🇪 Parabéns, Edinara! 👏 doi.org/10.1039/D4SC03…

Our work published earlier this year in Angewandte Chemie has now surpassed 2000 views! We're very grateful for the continued interest in our research on #POMs and #cages 🙏

Delighted to welcome Cristina Perona-Bermejo, a PhD student from the lab of Jorge Navarro, for her research stay at LBC. Today, she presented her initial findings during our group meeting, accompanied by some delightful treats from Granada! 🇪🇸🍴 Thrilled to have you with us!

Proud moment for LBC: Yujie Zhang’s final PhD chapter is now published in Inorganic Chemistry, American Chemical Society! 🥳 Our research suggests that Zr oxo clusters swiftly form and ay act as the active species in Zr-catalyzed #AmideBondFormations. Dive into the mechanistic details of

More #ClusterChemistry this week! Dive into our Perspective Article just published in DaltonTransactions, Royal Society of Chemistry about group (IV) clusters, their unique traits and impressive potential for catalysis & advanced electronics. It was a pleasure working alongside our collaborators in

Our novel strategy to embed #polyoxovanadates (POVs) into #Supramolecular assemblies via #HostGuest interactions with #Pillararene grafted clusters and ditopic linkers was recently published in Angewandte Chemie! Congrats Givi & coworkers on the great work! 👏 doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Always wanted to know more about #Cages and #POMs? Check out our Concept Article on confinement effects with examples of host-guest encapsulation & cavity-directed synthesis, applications and future perspectives for the field! Joost Reek Chemistry Europe Wiley Chemistry

Wrapping up 2024 with warmth and flavor! LBC celebrated a fantastic year with a cozy Chinese Hot Pot Christmas Party. A big thanks to all students and collaborators for your hard work this year. Let’s toast to an even brighter 2025! 🥂✨ #ChristmasParty #HotPot #Goodbye2024

Happy 45² ! 2025 = 45² is a "perfect square year". It is represented by the square of the sum of all the digits in the decimal number system. (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² = 2025. It also represents the sum of the cubes of all the digits in the decimal number

I am thrilled to share that I have been appointed as a Senior Editor ACS Central Science , the American Chemical Society award winning, fully open access journal! I am deeply honored to join a team lead by Carolyn Bertozzi and grateful for being offered this wonderful opportunity!

We are proud to present our latest development! Our recent publication in Angewandte Chemie demonstrates the potential of a #DiscreteHybrid #Vanadium #OxoCluster to selectively induce #oxidative modifications in proteins under physiological conditions. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Happy to share we're on the cover with our concept article! 🥳 Check out our cover art at: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2… Full article: doi.org/10.1002/chem.2… Cuilian Liu Joost Reek ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal

🚀 New from our group in #Proteomics: UiO-66 MOF nanozymes as affinity columns! This study tackles protein-MOF interactions, developing a carbonate-based elution strategy that improves peptide recovery & hydrolysis efficiency.🔬✨ #MOF #Nanozymes 📖 Read more:

What a summer! KU Leuven’s Summer of Science 2025 welcomed international high school students to CatalyQuest, led by LBC group members Bozidar Radusin, Maxim Lox, and Alisa Ranscht, with colleagues from Bioengineering & Chemistry Steven De Feyter and De Vos Group. From hands-on
