The Duer group have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially ‘freezing’ a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer.
Recent research has unveiled a new mechanism that explains how carbon dioxide (CO₂) can react directly at water’s surface instead of fully dissolving first. This finding has significant implications for our understanding of ocean acidification.
The legacies of two well-loved Department supervisors, Martin Mays and Jim Staunton, remain vivid for many who worked alongside them. Four alumni reflect on how their experiences during this pivotal period continue to influence their lives today.

We opened our doors to nearly 300 sixth-formers this February for the 6th Cambridge Chemistry Race, an international competition that tests understanding of chemistry principles… all under a time limit.
Olivia Dovernor built a 3D fluorescence microscopy system during her PhD in the Lee Lab and the Scherman Group, pioneering new ways to map gel network structures and track molecular diffusion.
We threw our doors open for the Cambridge Festival with an Open Day that was bigger, better and more squelchy than ever with activities throughout all the teaching laboratories and amazing lectures from our scientists.
Prof.Robert Mokaya OBE FRS did his PhD in Prof. Bill Jones’ Group and has recently been elected as the next President of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
The Chemistry Sustainability Committee hosted a conversation between Dr Svetlana Menkin from our Department and Dr Spencer Brennan from Neutreeno, a company that helps large companies reduce their carbon emissions.
The Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry is pleased to share that Professor Chiara Giorio has been featured in the latest Chemistry World article titled "Carbon in an Ice World” by Victoria Atkinson.
The Yusuf Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge is proud to announce its leadership of a groundbreaking €4 million innovation grant awarded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Challenge.

In a recent publication, a research team from Cambridge and Proteotype Diagnostics unveiled a blood test that detects cancer early and predicts treatment response by decoding immune system signals rather than relying on tumour DNA.
