Research Interests

Anticancer iron chelators, small molecules capable of chelating iron in cancer cells stopping their growth and causing apoptosis


Dynamic self-assembly through complementary metal complexes based on selective binding of two different tridentate chelate ligands into octahedral heteroligand complexes


Semisynthetic macrolide antibiotics capable of inhibiting protein synthesis in MLSB resistant bacteria


Amplified responsive systems capable of changing their macroscopic properties triggered by detection of substoichiometric amounts of analytes


Treatments of iron overload diseases through chelation of iron
