New fully funded PhD position available in our group 🥳 ideal for someone who wants to combine organic supramolecular chemistry with cancer therapeutic development! southampton.ac.uk/study/postgrad… Funding available for UK/EU students RTs appreciated

Some excellent funding news this week, and we will soon have a PhD and Post Doc adverts in; if you have experience in vesicle-basrd transport assays and/or photoswitches, please get in contact! Adverts hopefully soon....

📢Our team will be advertising a number of fully-funded positions in the coming months (new photoswitch-based projects)💡🚨 Applicants from the 🇪🇺 and 🇨🇳 are encouraged. More info will be coming soon and advertised on our website imineswitch.com #photoswitch #imine

Brilliant teamwork! Great watching this project grow by connecting chemists and engineers based in the UK and Japan. Congrats all! 🤝 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @SiyuanWang0329, @KenYamazaki5, @a_m_nightingale, @yorimitsu_lab @UoSChem_ChemEng, @unisouthampton, @KyotoU_News

Congratulations to Prof Anna Peacock @Peacock_Group who has been awarded the @RoySocChem 2025 Chemical Biology and Bioorganic Group Lectureship Award for outstanding contributions to the community and exceptional research on functional metalloproteins rsc.org/standards-and-…

Come work with us! We have a PhD opportunity available with Hess and Giuliani groups. Please reach out if you are interested. @Jeannine__Hess @CRUKCOLcentre colcc.ac.uk/2026-phd-proje…

Please to share our latest group's adventure on Pt(IV) prodrugs, where we identify a photoredox-active Pt(IV) complex that induces light-mediated cell death! @ChemicalScience pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@The_LightLab @ChemicalScience @mlm7996 @Chand55118Sayan @SamyadebM @iiserkol @ANRFIndia Very cool stuff!

HOT from @ChemicalScience; Introduction of a cationic phosphorous on dimethyldihydropyrene photoswitches was hard but led to cool switching with 740 nm light in water. Both ways, vis light switch @mlm7996 @Chand55118Sayan @SamyadebM @iiserkol @ANRFIndia pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@chemosensors I recognise that azulene!

📰 ✨ The Chemistry foyer in 1 South has had a refresh! New NMR window graphics + a striking Periodic Table (credit: Compound Interest). Thanks to Barrie Marsh (photos) & Claire McMullin (inspiration). #Chemistry #ScienceCommunication #NMR #PeriodicTable #CompoundInterest

@ACSedgwick @kclchemistry Huge Congrats Ad!

Grateful to be a recipient of the emerging investigator award @kclchemistry

!New paper! We're delighted to see this out @J_A_C_S! #Chemistry #Supramol pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… (1/3)

Our pipeline to compute thermal barriers of photoswitches💡 is out!🥳 We especially focused on NBDs for MOST🔋 and imines, but also stilbenes and DAEs. Try it out! You need just chemdraws and freeware to get libraries computed doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2…

Check our last publication in @Nature "Redox-powered autonomous directional C–C bond rotation under enzyme control" (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…)

Excited to share the publication of our automated characterisation platform for measuring the quantum yield and half life of molecular photoswitches. The method is easy to use and reduce also the needed amount for characterisation. #chemsky #molswitch pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Interested in a PhD aimed at revolutionising the protection of metallic infrastructure? Our goal is to discover new corrosion inhibitors that can be added to coatings, reducing corrosion risk and enhancing the lifespan of vital infrastructure. More at lnkd.in/e5PqmfcK

Great to see this work published and thank you to the whole team for making this possible!

@JakeyLG @Chem_CP @GalliumWu Phenomenal stuff mate! Congrats

🚨📢Out now in @Chem_CP , @GalliumWu and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝) #AIPs #imine #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…
