Thanks Mathias! ☺️☺️

Harnessing Organometallic Gold(III) Complexes as Precision Scaffolds for Next‐Generation Therapeutic and Imaging Agents Gold(III) organometallic complexes, particularly cyclometalated Au(III) compounds, have emerged as powerful tools in catalysis and bioinorganic chemistry, offering unique reactivity distinct from the...

Our new paper is out in #chembiochem!
Even more special because it was coauthored with my longtime friend and collaborator @sophierthomas.bsky.social
Always a pleasure to turn shared ideas into shared results ❤️

Unraveling the Molecular Basis for G‐Quadruplex‐Binders to ALS/FTD‐Associated G4C2 Repeats of the C9orf72 Gene Some neurodegenerative disorders can be driven by recurrent mutations in the C9orf72 gene. These sequences can fold into G-quadruplex secondary structures. Here, by performing in silico investigation...

Our latest paper on small molecules G4-binding involved in ASL/FTD is finally out! A collaborative effort with Angelo Spinello, @medbioinorgchem.bsky.social @giampaolobarone.bsky.social Hope you enjoy the reading! ❤️ @bip-unipa.bsky.social

🎉 Thrilled to welcome Dr. Luisa D'Anna as the first PDRA in my group! 🥳 Your talent and dedication set the bar high, and can’t wait to see the incredible research ahead. Here's to an exciting journey together! 🚀✨ @luisa797.bsky.social

🤣

Grazie Cinzia! Long time not talking, keep me posted about you as well! 😉

Thank you so much Angela ❤️ not only for you kind words but also for all of the support that you have provided me with, during these years. Looking forward to celebrating with you in person!!! ☺️💙

Thanks Gilles!!!!

Thanks Sophie ❤️

yes and all at the same time.. 😂 Supervising them is an experience indeed, but worth it! Have a great Xmas, and a wonderful 2025 Phoebe! ❤️

Last lecture for the Practical Inorganic Chemistry, class 24/25, course. Wishing all the best to all of you guys, hope you enjoyed the journey! ❤️

First in Bluesky, a wonderful collaborative work with friends from all over the world on gold(I) organometallic complexes as anti-Leishmania agents. Hope you enjoy the reading ❤️

Congrats Phoebie!!! Very nice one!

Super proud of our PhD student and PDRA-to-be, Luisa, rocking the floor on asymmetric Salphen complexes and selective targeting of G-quadruplex Structures at SciCal2024

Hey Bluesky folks, our call for papers for the special issue on JIB on Metal complexes targeting non-canonical nucleic acid structures is still on! Drop us a message/email to get an invitation!
