‘University chemists are there to acquire knowledge, not to solve problems’ -C2W interview

2023-12-14T14:25:35+00:00

“'I find it worrying that nowadays organic synthesis can often be narrowed down to just the development of building blocks. That's good in itself, but it shouldn't stop there. Synthesis is broader, you are also an architect. You are looking for structure, a function or a property and you have to build that into a [...]

LEAF Bronze award for Sustainability

2023-08-08T11:48:54+00:00

Over the years, we have consistently explored ways to enhance the environmental friendliness of our laboratories. This has included using air reflux condensers instead of water, substituting all oil baths with heating blocks, promoting chemical sharing, transitioning to electronic lab journals to streamline experimentation processes and eliminate the need for paper journals to be stored [...]

Ganoderma mushroom synthesis

2023-08-08T12:20:53+00:00

For the first time, a number of substances from the mushroom family Ganoderma have been combined in a total synthesis. Read all about it in our article in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. The Ganoderma mushrooms have been used in traditional East Asian medicine for over 2000 years and more than 900 substances have [...]

The worlds of big scale reactors and electrochemistry

2023-08-08T09:05:05+00:00

Sometimes we explore new worlds and team up together. After having a look into the big scale labs of neighboring company Symeres our lab manager Paulien had a 2L reactor setup build. Shown here excitingly by our new PhD Imke Bartels, ready to go from milligram scale to "there's no limit-scale". And on the other [...]
