Very happy to have contributed to this with lanthanides probes together with colleagues at Oxford, SUSTEch and Hong Kong Baptist

Luminescent Lanthanides in Biorelated Applications: From Molecules to Nanoparticles and Diagnostic Probes to Therapeutics Lanthanides are particularly effective in their clinical applications in magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic assays. They have open-shell 4f electrons that give rise to characteristic narrow, line-like emission which is unique from other fluorescent probes in biological systems. Lanthanide luminescence signal offers selection of detection pathways based on the choice of the ion from the visible to the near-infrared with long luminescence lifetimes that lend themselves to time-resolved measurements for optical multiplexing detection schemes and novel bioimaging applications. The delivery of lanthanide agents in cells allows localized bioresponsive activity for novel therapies. Detection in the near-infrared region of the spectrum coupled with technological advances in microscopies opens new avenues for deep-tissue imaging and surgical interventions. This review focuses on the different ways in which lanthanide luminescence can be exploited in nucleic acid and enzyme detection, anion recognition, cellular imaging, tissue imaging, and photoinduced therapeutic applications. We have focused on the hierarchy of designs that include luminescent lanthanides as probes in biology considering coordination complexes, multimetallic lanthanide systems to metal–organic frameworks and nanoparticles highlighting the different strategies in downshifting, and upconversion revealing some of the opportunities and challenges that offer potential for further development in the field.

A close up of the clocktower drawing reveals the molecules that make up the artwork.

We have unveiled this amazing picture of the iconic Old Joe clocktower by School alumnus Lucy Walker, drawn using molecules, in the foyer of our new home the Molecular Sciences Building #chemsky

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

three baby owls are sitting next to each other on the ground and smiling . Alt: Two burrowing owls are sitting next to each other near a burrow entrance with some feathery dry grass behind them. Another one hops out with a long branch under one wing, making it three. The two original owls look up in astonishment?

Congrats Babis!

No problem

The link has a small typo: .ox.ac.uk. Unless you want to send people along the yellow brick road!

Sometimes column chromatography gives you very nice surprises! 🧪 Charles's compound came out pure and bright 💎💙 Happy #FluorescenceFriday 🦋!

The trick to growing your H-index is mostly to stay alive (r~0.99)

The periodic table color-coded by liability. Most of the elements are green, which means they can be licked. All of the elements along the bottom row, as well as a few other elements are purple, which means you should not lick them. Most of the elements in group one two and 17 are not lickable

Periodic table colored by lickability. 😛

Even though I moved down South a year and a half ago we still put the Angel of the North on top of our Christmas tree.

No probs! I think it is fairly newly created.

I had a fantastic time at #MASC2024 in York. First conference since arriving back in the U.K.. Great to meet many new people, catch-up with others and see some fab supramolecular and macrocyclic chemistry presented. Huge thanks to the organisers for putting together such a great meeting.

Hartelijk bedankt!

Good to meet you there. I hope you rest well and recover swiftly.

Hi Adam, I take your point that the quadratic formula can be presented in a way that does not inspire understanding or affection. And it sounds like that's how it was taught to you. So let me try to make a better case for it. Here's how I discussed it in my book The Joy of x. (1/9)

Sigh 😣 #chemsky

I saw this somewhere in Montreal... love it.

Thank you!

My first day at the University of Birmingham School of Chemistry. Complete with a rainbow 🌈 over the Molecular Sciences Building! Delighted to be able to start my group here and am looking forward to doing exciting chemistry here supported by the European Research Council.
