It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Professor Mary McPartlin at the age of 89.

Water can be liquid, gas or ice, right? Think again.

In July 2022 Chemistry spin-out Nyobolt announced the initial close of £50 million funding in its Series B round which will enable it to enter a stage of manufacturing at scale.

A special ceremony was held on the 7th of July to celebrate the naming of the Department, and to thank Dr Yusuf Hamied and his wife Farida for their generous support.

Lockdown was a time for making banana bread, exercising with Joe Wicks or starting a new hobby -- unless you were in the Nitschke lab, where researchers used the time to compile a handbook of metal-organic capsules.

Researchers here have found a way to avoid the toxicity of some plant-derived cancer-killing drugs by 'masking' their toxicity until they reach their targets, potentially leading to more effective cancer therapies.

Professor of Biophysical Chemistry Steven Lee believes that one day ‘to Zomp’ will mean to carry out high-volume, three-dimensional imaging of individual cells.

Professor Daan Frenkel ForMemRS has been awarded the Lorentz Medal for his pioneering use of computer simulations.

A team of researchers from this department in collaboration with three other institutions, has been honoured for developing a new class of catalysts which will provide greener and more energy efficient chemical processes.

The results from the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment highlight the impressive amount of world-leading research undertaken in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry and its wider impact on society.
