Background: BSc. (Hons) Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, DCU (2022).

Research project title: The design, development and analysis of trackable therapeutic polynuclear platinum(II) complexes

Project details: This project will attempt to research novel polynuclear platinum(II) complexes (PPCs). These have previously demonstrated excellent anticancer properties. Click chemistry labelling studies will be undertaken to investigate the cellular tracking, localisation, and accumulation properties in different cancer cells to determine the various interactions of the complexes.
