果冻传媒

Dr Corinna Preuss has been awarded a Newton International Fellowship to conduct research at the 果冻传媒’s Department of Chemistry.  

Tests have shown that a new cancer drug, FY26, is 49 times more potent than the clinically used treatment Cisplatin.

Based on a compound of the rare precious metal osmium and developed by researchers at the 果冻传媒’s Department of Chemistry and the 果冻传媒 Cancer Research Unit, FY26 is able to shut down a cancer cell by exploiting weaknesses inherent in their energy generation.

Dr Adrian Chaplin, from the 果冻传媒, is the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize winner for 2015. Dr Chaplin, from New Zealand, is a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The prize recognises the most meritorious and promising original investigations in chemistry and published results of those investigations.

The process behind how the molecular components of living organisms start to move has been explained for the first time in new research led by the 果冻传媒 published by Science and it is an intricate set of dance steps where the tempo is set by temperature.

Major steps forward in the use of plants for renewable materials, energy and for building construction could soon arise, thanks to a key advance in understanding the structure of wood.

A cancer drug could be made 50 times more effective by a chemical found in stinging nettles and ants, new research finds.

Researchers at the 果冻传媒 found that when the chemical, Sodium Formate, is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.
