Medicinal Chemistry Group - Newcastle Uni

We had a brilliant time at @UniofNewcastle first-ever Discover Festival on Sat 6 June. A fun-filled day of #science, #creativity & #curiosity for all ages! Big thanks to our team for inspiring the next generation with their experiments & activities!

We're at @durham_uni for Day 1 of the @MosmedC Conference! Looking forward to two days of insightful talks and discussions - especially from our medicinal chemists - highlighting the breadth of ongoing research across the programme. #mosmed25

Faces of Science Launch! Over on BlueSky, we're focusing on the human elements of science. Come check us out and if you're scientist, we'd love for you to get involved! bsky.app/profile/faceso…

Happy International Women's Day! #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay

Delighted that one of our PhD students, Elle Watson, won a prize for her poster presentation at the @NU_Cancer PGR conference yesterday! Well-deserved recognition for your brilliant research 👏🥳 @MosmedC @ChemistryNCL @SciencesNCL

Celebrating the amazing women in our Chemistry labs on this International Day of Women and Girls in Science!👩🏼‍🔬 Our incredible researchers bring their expertise and leadership to help make lifesaving discoveries. @NU_Cancer @CR_UK @MosmedC @NBioscience @ChemistryNCL @CR_Horizons

In the UK, nearly 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime. It's World Cancer Day today – a global day to raise awareness and take action against cancer 🌍 Whatever your cancer experience, or however you’ve supported our work in the past, share this post and help us get…

On #WorldCancerDay2025 read how our researchers have developed novel AI technology to determine the course & severity of aggressive skin cancers. This new technique is leading to enhanced clinical decision making & personalised treatments. ⬇️ ncl.ac.uk/press/articles… #WeAreNCL

Great year of fundraising over the course of 2024 with almost £6.5k raised by the group. Colleagues from @KawamuraGroup and @NBioscience happily joined us to further boost funds. Many events organised/participated in & hope to do more of the same in 2025! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/newcastle…

We've baked and now we're ready for you to stop by and pick up some treats! We'll be outside the Bedson on @UniofNewcastle campus from now until sell out! All in aid of @SU2CUK! 🔴⚫⚪🟠

The Med Chem bakers have been busy making some delicious treats ready for their bake sale tomorrow. If you're on @UniofNewcastle campus why not pop by to see them outside the @ChemistryNCL Bedson Building. All in aid of @SU2CUK! 🟠🔴⚫

We're pleased to introduce our new postdoc, Dan Gugan. He joins us having recently completed his PhD @UniversityLeeds. Welcome Dan, we look forward to working with you! @NU_Cancer @ChemistryNCL @SciencesNCL #DrugDiscovery #MedChem #Research #Science

A warm welcome to @SofyaGalimova who joins us to start her PhD studies under the supervision of @MikeJWaring. @ChemistryNCL @SciencesNCL @MosmedC @CR_Horizons

We're delighted to welcome back @JRRH02 to our Med Chem labs! Earlier in 2024 he completed his MChem project with us, graduated with a first class degree from @UniofNewcastle, enjoyed a summer break and is now back for his PhD! @CR_Horizons @ChemistryNCL @MosmedC

Several of our researchers are running #GNR2024 for @CRUKresearch @CR_Horizons tomorrow.
