This on-line 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.

All EUniwell researchers and staff are welcome. To register, please visit the Eventbrite page.

The meeting will 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
