The upcoming meeting entitled: Piano-stool Fe(II) and Ru(II) carbonyl complexes with heteroatom ligands: comparison of their anti-cancer properties as covalent and ionic complexes will be held with the participation of Dr Sujoy Das (Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry).
Sujoy Das received his PhD degree from the Department of Chemistry, Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, India in February 2020. His doctoral research topic was designing chemosensors for the selective detection and estimation of biomolecules and toxic elements. He joined The Faculty of Chemistry, University of Lodz in June 2021 as a laureate of IDUB Junior Researcher in Residence, 2020 competition. His research interest is mainly focused on organic and organometallic synthesis, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. In his post-doc, he is working on the synthesis of half-sandwich Iron and Ruthenium based organometallic complexes followed by exploring their anti-cancer potential. His work involves synthetic techniques like photolysis, column chromatography, spectroscopical analytic techniques like NMR, FT-IR, ESI-MS, XRD, UV-vis and fluorescence. All of his complexes are screened for their extensive biochemical properties like cytotoxicity, DNA-damaging ability with respect to normal and cancer cell lines. When not in research lab, he likes to spend time with family, listening music and to explore new places.
The meeting will be held online on 15 April at 3:00 p.m.
