Abstrakt

Our research uses chemistry principles to address questions of importance in life sciences and molecular medicine. This lecture will cover recent examples of emerging areas in our group in:
  • building linkerless antibody-drug conjugates through direct and site-selective conjugation of anti-cancer drugs to antibodies [1];
  • construction of artificial metalloproteins for controlled and tissue-specific carbon monoxide (CO) delivery and their use for CO-immunotherapy in cancer [2];
  • harnessing the power of natural product architectures in cancer chemical biology. By identifying on- and off-targets for anti-cancer entities and unveiling the underlying molecular mechanisms of target recognition, we explore the use of natural products as cancer modulators and ligands for the selective delivery of cytotoxic payloads [3].
