The beauty of azobenzene isomerisation <3

🚨 Come and join the team! I have a 4-year PhD position available at The Francis Crick Institute. 🧪 You'll build on our LAMP-D technology to design metal-based molecules to develop new therapeutic strategies. Application deadline: 17 March. crick.ac.uk/careers-study/…

While traditionally used as stoichiometric reagents, #HeavierAlkaliMetalAmides have emerged as versatile #catalysts, find out more in this #perspective by @SanchezRoaDavid @DCBPunibern @ACSCatalysis in collaboration with #RabMulvey @StrathChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

After a long journey, we are so happy to share that our last work on the discovery of a new CO2 activation mode for hydrocarboxylation reactions has been published in @J_A_C_S, by @ManuAzzi, @maanuurm, @sainarayanan89, @J_Scarfiello and Jesus A. Varela! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@EvaHeviaGroup @Pacifichem Oh Eva!! You met Rory 😍😍😍😍 - Hug him from me ♥️

Bye bye @Pacifichem 🌺after participating in two exciting symposia #maingroupchem #allkalimetals It was great to catch up with many friends from far away and also to meet many new colleagues!

"Los percebes son carísimos!" Si. Ya. Claro. 😏👇

A classical Friedel-Crafts reaction may not be biocompatible partly because acid catalysts are needed. Our work @JACS_Au showed a boron unit makes it "catalyst-free" for tryptophan bioconjugation! The century-old reaction still has a lot going on! doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…

As a golden closing chapter to 2025 ✨ thanks Ivan for the invitation to IBC2. 🙏🏼 #ProxiDrugs & whole team: fantastic in every sense—science 🧠 & humanity ❤️. Crashing your Xmas party was the perfect bonus 🎄😄 Thank you all for making me feel part of the team♥️ #ProfLife

✨ Our first reactions article in @ACSCentralScience with #CyrilGoudet is officially out! 🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Don’t miss the chance to dive into the fantastic work of #AmadeuLlebaria #Xavier Rovira and #VenkateshKrishnan – great read for the winter break! ❄️ 💛 #ProfLife

Wishing everyone a cozy winter break from #lovelyMarburg 🏰♥️ Wrapping up with our traditional Xmas 🥘 this year delicious Galician cake 😍 thanks to #AliciaCasitas & @JoanSerrano♥️— and amusement program prepared by care & love from our students ✨🃏 -"Sharing is caring!" 🎄✨

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning. -Richard P. Feynman

Well done to my PhD student Periklis Karamanis who has recently defended his thesis! Here is our recent work on "Synthesis of Trifluoromethylated Analogues of the Cyclic Lipopeptide Iturin A and Evaluation of their Antifungal Activity" doi.org/10.1002/cplu.2…

Long live N6!

@GasserGroup @Johannes_Karges @angew_chem @ChimieParisTech 🥰🥰 Congratulations 👏🏼🎉

Happy to see this collaborative with Hui Chao and @Johannes_Karges out in @angew_chem. We designed Ir(III) complexes to trigger oncosis and activate the cyclic GMP–AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes pathway. @ChimieParisTech doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Vendo o futuro… de lonxe.

@OlallaLab Looking forward to your visit @MSKCancerCenter !!💪🏻🤩

@Yael_David__ Dear Yael - I cannot wait to meet you all in January 😍 - thanks for the opportunity

Another iconic David Lab holiday party in the books! Cheers to happy holidays and a fantastic 2026 ahead 🎉✨🥂 Grateful every day to be part of this incredible lab and its amazing people ❤️

🎄✨ Adventz(t) time is here! ☺️😍 this year we have the most unusual calendar ever🤦🏼‍♀️Our Alex was the 1st 👀LOOK👀 what she got: “Positive 💩–I may be a tiny 💩 but I believe in you.Go do your great sh*t!” 😂, I can’t wait to see what is waiting😂May Advent bring magic ✨

@Jeannine__Hess Congratulations 👏🏼🎉 Jeannine 🎉🎉🎉🎉

We are thrilled to see this out! 🥳🍾Check out our work on light activated ruthenium complexes to degrade NDM-1 in Gram-negative bacteria! Wonderful team effort by the group!
