Yesterday, represented our group at the 7th Chembion Symposium: A great opportunity to exchange ideas across chemistry and pharmacy, highlighting the power of interdisciplinary ion channel research 🔬🧪🧠 We’re proud to share that she won the Best Poster Award 🏆

Not one, not two, but THREE PhD 🎓 announcements from our group this Friday: Congratulations to Dr. Corinna Heusel, Dr. Felix Katzenburg and Dr. Ronewa Nematswerani! 🔥🐲

Divergent housane synthesis via intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,4-dienes - Nature Synthesis Saturated, three-dimensional scaffolds are key in modern drug discovery, and highly strained rings serve as privileged building blocks for their synthesis. Now, by tailoring the substitution patterns ...

Thrilled to share that our work on a divergent strategy for housane synthesis via intramolecular energy-transfer [2+2] cycloaddition of 1,4-dienes is now published in @natsynth.nature.com 🚀
