"The development and targeting of epigenetic drugs for therapeutic benefit" Abstract: The talk will comprise two interconnected parts describing the development and targeting of epigenetic drugs for the treatment of disease. The development of bromodomain ligands for the treatment of disease: bromodomains, protein modules that ‘read’ of lysine acetylation state, have emerged as important therapeutic […]

“Releasing, or capturing, that is the question. Porous molecular materials” Porous materials are one important class where the shape and distribution of “empty” space throughout the framework is a main determinant for the resulting functionality. For instance, zeolites are available with many different pore size and geometries, which is the fundament of their wide spread […]
Organic Colloquium – Prof. Ross Denton
“Phosphorus-Oriented” Method Development and Total Synthesis Abstract: The lecture will describe the design, development and applications of new synthetic methods based upon phosphorus(V) reagents and catalysts. Topics will include catalytic halogenation, hydroxyl activation and the total synthesis of polychlorinated and trimeric phenol-derived natural products.

Novel chemotypes of kinase inhibitors for the potential treatment of recurrent cancers Abstract: Therapeutic resistance remains a critical issue in cancer treatment. While cancer patients who harbor dysregulated protein kinases benefit from the use of kinase inhibitors (KIs), many fail therapy and almost all patients become resistant to treatment, indicating a critical unmet need to […]
