This online meeting will launch the new EUniWell Research Collaborative Network which seeks to explore the design, biochemical action and biomedical activity of new agents (particularly, but not exclusively, metal-containing molecules and nanostructures) that target unusual DNA or RNA structural motifs relevant to cancer and viral disease.

The meeting will take place on Friday 29th January 2021 from 9 – 11.30am GMT / 10am – 12.30pm CET

All EUniwell researchers and staff are welcome. Joining details will be circulated via email to registered attendees prior to the event.

A limited number of slots will be available for chemists, bioscientists, biophysicists and medical researchers in the seven EUniwell Universities to make a short (ca 5 minute) presentation of their scientific interests and potential for collaboration in the area of the network: Brief expressions of interest (ca 100 words) should be sent to A.Holland@bham.ac.uk by noon (GMT) on 21st January.

The meeting will also feature research presentations on this topic from the network coordinators:

Professor Mike Hannon (U. Birmingham) - Supramolecular recognition of DNA and RNA junction structures for anti-viral and anti-cancer therapy

Professor Sylvestre Bonnet (U. Leiden) - Stabilization of four-way DNA junctions with small molecules

Professor Luigi Messori (U. Firenze) - Non canonical DNA structures as targets for metal based drugs

Professor Zoe Pikramenou (U. Birmingham) - Nanoparticle metal probes for detection, delivery and imaging
