Atomically Precise Multi-Metallic Catalysts Based on Earth-Abundant Metals for a Sustainable Organic Chemistry KU Leuven
The reactivity of metal catalysts is largely dependent on the ligands complexed to the metal. Several examples of long-term efforts to develop organic ligands have been reported, achieving remarkable catalytic performances in a broad range of reactions. On the other hand, the vast majority of metal-inorganic environment combinations developed are heterogeneous catalysts, which are far more difficult to study at the molecular level due to the ...
Micro- and millireactor technology for difficult batch reactions in organic chemistry Ghent University
This project aims at the study of specific organic reactions which are difficult to scale up or to perform under batch conditions. A number of generic reactions will be studied in order to be able to perform these under microreactor conditions. The microreactor procedure will be studied fundamentally and will be optimised to make these reactions industrially relevant.

A Tale of Furan and Nucleic Acids: A journey through the exploration of furan chemistry as a versatile tool for nucleic acid targeting. Ghent University
MMbio will bridge the classically separate disciplines of Chemistry and Biology by assembling leading experts from academia and non-academic partners (industry, technology transfer & science communication) to bring about systems designed to interfere therapeutically with gene expression in living cells. Expertise in nucleic acid synthesis, its molecular recognition and chemical reactivity is combined with drug delivery, cellular biology ...
Explorations in quinoline chemistry – towards the development of novel piperidine-quinoline hybrids with antimalarial activity and nitroxoline analogs with anti-tumor activity Ghent University
Quinolines are privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry because of the broad diversity of biological activities associated with these heterocyclic compounds. Two major fields to which quinoline chemistry is expected to contribute significantly in the future concern antimalarial studies and anticancer research. Thus, the current project aims at the synthesis of novel piperidine-quinoline hybrids with antimalarial activity and nitroxoline ...
