4 September 2018: Delighted to welcome Maria in the group; this time as a PhD student! Things are getting serious and exciting.
With a bit of delay (Aug 3, 2018), also very happy to welcome Joan, arriving fresh from Bochum to work with us on an Academy of Medical Sciences funded project.
And since we are catching up on the news section, congrats to Nicolas on meeting the requirements for Fellowship of The Higher Education Academy. Next in line is Anaïs (expected 2019). Good luck to her!
23 July 2018: The Barry group has shared their recent work at the ICOMC conference in Florence (Italy). Nicolas presented our work on the nanocrystallisation while Anaïs focused on the biological properties of our 16-electron complexes.
In the mean time, Maria has graduated with a MChem degree with distinction. Maria also won the prize for the best MChem. Congratulations!
6 July 2018: The School of Chemistry now provides a unique Master’s education in Materials Chemistry, offering the opportunity to carry out a 12-month research project from a selection that covers all aspects of Materials Chemistry. We also deliver a research-focused degree in Analytical Sciences MSc. Respective information can be found here: https://www.bradford.ac.uk/courses/pg/materials-chemistry/ and there https://www.bradford.ac.uk/courses/pg/analytical-sciences/.
16 April 2018: Patent filed and article published this week. After a long journey in the lab and with the ICURe programme, an exciting new research direction opens up for the group:
“New Class of Hybrid Materials for Detection, Capture, and “On-Demand” Release of Carbon Monoxide” published in ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces
26 March 2018: Our latest review in Medicinal Chemistry Communications is now online (Schizophrenia: synthetic strategies and recent advances in drug design). Congratulations to Maria!
22 February 2018: Anaïs, William, and Nicolas welcome students from Ilkley Grammar School to perform some NMR and IR analyses on compounds they have synthesised. This is their second visit to the University of Bradford as part of our Royal Society Partnership Grant. More info on the Partnership Grant here.
8 February 2018: Nicolas has been awarded a grant by The Academy of Medical Sciences for this year’s Springboard Round. The work will aim at understanding the anti-cancer properties of electron-deficient metal complexes.
12 January 2018: The @RoySocChem Biomaterials special interest group annual meeting has just started in Bradford. Excellent line up of speakers, including:
– Prof. Rein Ulijn, City University of New York
– Prof. Mark Bradley, University of Edinborough
– Prof. Andrew P. Dove, University of Birmingham
More info here.
