Overview
The team consists of chemists, biologists, pharmacists and clinicians. We have brought these skills together to develop drug candidates for cancer treatment based on organometallic complexes.
We are mainly developing gold and iridium complexes and are investigating their cytotoxic properties, modes of action and, in the case of iridium, their potential as a photosensitiser for application in photodynamic therapy.
