Professor Tom Davis, one of Chemistry's joint appointments with Monash, has been awarded an Australian Laureate Fellowship for an exciting new research project.

Robert Deller, in the GibsonGroup won the prize for the best poster at the 2014 RAPS Conference

Members of the Jones’ group, in collaboration with the Department of Physics, have published two studies. High voltage hybrid organic photovoltaic cells using ZnO and SubPc have been published in PCCP. The comparison of DMSO treatment methods for highly conductive PEDOT:PSS electrodes has been published in Organic Electronics.

Read all about it! Two papers in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) from the Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group. No ordinary accomplishment.

Helical arrays of small organic molecules around a core of Fe(II) ions act as highly potent and highly selective anticancer compounds. The work is published in Nature Chemistry.

Stereochemistry is a very important issue for pharmaceutical industry and can determine drug efficacy. Scott group metallohelices have been shown, in collaboration with Xiaogang Chu and co-workers at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, China, to enantioselectively target and inhibit amyloid (Aβ) aggregation. This provides new insights into chiral inhibition of Aβ aggregation and opens a new avenue for design and screening of chiral agents as Aβ inhibitors against Alzheimer's disease. The work is published in J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Congratulations to all our graduands, who are receiving their degrees today.

All staff, colleagues and friends from the Department look forward to this occasion and the opportunity to celebrate your achievements with you and your guests on such a memorable day.

We wish you well and many congratulations on your success!
