GlycoTherapeutics, spin-off company Radboud University's Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), will focus on developing innovative cancer therapies based on sugar molecules on the surface of cancer cells.
The Evening of Chemistry
Chemistry is hot. KNCV is celebrating this on Thursday evening 5 October with the 'Evening of Chemistry' in theatre De Lievekamp in Oss. To tie in with #100yearspharmafuture, this year's theme is pharmacochemistry.
Radboud researchers discover novel antifouling material against bacterial infections
Chemists from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University have developed a unique material that not only prevents bacteria from binding to surfaces but also kills any bacteria that overcomes this initial defense barrier.
ERC Starting Grant for research on novel technology for selectively switching magnetization
Carl Davies has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant to study a new approach for selectively manipulating magnetic order in the project entitled “HandShake”.
Elias Vlieg appointed President of the International Organization for Crystal Growth (IOCG)

Volkswagen Stiftung grant for research on brain-inspired materials: towards eco efficient computing
An interdisciplinary research team from Radboud University, Donders Institute for Brain Cognition and Behaviour of Radboud University and the University of Stuttgart, have been awarded a grant from Volkswagen Stiftung.
Single-molecule OLED lights up upon charging: towards energy-efficient light sources
Physicists of Radboud University discovered that if electricity goes through an OLED made from single molecules in a scanning tunneling microscope, the charged state is important for emission of light. By this charge the molecule produces light, more energy-friendly than traditional methods.
Bridge funding for the HFML-FELIX research facility
NWO has pledged €3.3 million as bridge funding to HFML-FELIX in the lead-up to a renewed cooperation agreement.
olIMMpiad2023: the lively and energetic sports day of IMM
The fifth edition of OlIMMpiad, the sports day for employees of the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), took place at the RU campus sports centre on Wednesday 5 July.

Johan Mentink, Maike Hansen and Wim Velema, all researchers within the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of the Radboud University, have been awarded a NWO Vidi Grant. Vidi is a funding instrument of the NWO.
Novel protein labeling methods enabling quick analysis of newly synthesized proteins in biological processes
Chemists of Radboud University, together with Donders Institute and RIMLS-science, have accomplished a major breakthrough by developing an innovative technique for labeling that allows for effective monitoring and analysis of newly synthesized proteins. The results of the study have recently been published in the high impact journal Nature Communications.
Breakthrough: scientists develop artificial molecules that behave like real ones
Scientists from the Radboud University have developed artificial molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researchers simulated the behaviour of real molecules by using artificial molecules.
IMM in consortium for preclinical development of antiviral molecule medicine against COVID-19
A research consortium to expand the antiviral toolbox to develop an innovative small molecule drug against coronaviruses has received a ZonMwgrant.
Future of data storage lies in DNA microcapsules
Within five to 10 years, we will be able to store data in DNA, Professor Tom de Greef expects. Data will not be stored in zeros and ones on a hard disk, but in the base pairs AT and CG that make up DNA.
Royal Distinctions for seven Radboudians
On the occasion of King's Day this year, seven employees of Radboud University and Radboudumc receive a royal distinction for their exceptional scientific and/or social achievements.
Growing cells on synthetic PIC gel could save millions of mice
The synthetic PIC gel, discovered in 2013 at Radboud University, seems highly suitable to grow cells in for research. An additional advantage is that unlike the gels commonly used for cell culture, this gel requires no breeding and killing of mice.
