I don’t want to be on a picket line today. I’d rather be teaching my students or in the lab with @kilpatrickgroup.bsky.social - not standing in the rain outside my own workplace.
But the threat of compulsory redundancies and cuts to @leicesterchem.bsky.social 🇬🇧🥈leaves us no real choice.

We report two new titanocene–NSAID complexes that show:
🔹 strong activity against breast cancer stem cells (CSCs), with one rivaling cisplatin & salinomycin
🔹 improved safety when delivered via nanoparticle encapsulation
This is the first study to explore #titanocenes in anti-CSC therapy.

Massive congrats to Jamie Allen - the first @kilpatrickgroup.bsky.social PhD over the line! Humbling moments & still processing what this means to be a Doktorvater. Thanks to Prof. Adrian Chaplin & Dr Alex Pulis @leicesterchem.bsky.social for doing the honours #VivaForever

Hi there #ChemSky! It's nice to be back on the socials... I'm mostly here for science chat, friendly gossip & the odd bit of shameless self-promotion. 🦋
