We also have a second competition funded PhD Position available! This project focuses on the exploration of novel ligand and metal chemistry for the preparation of modular compound libraries. These will then be evaluated as potential antimicrobials. tinyurl.com/Metalloantibioti…

The end of an era at @theNWU Congratulations to Dr @JMcgad (on the right)! An example of grit and determination, I'm super proud! Never got a chance to take a picture with Dr @chilidzie_ in 2020 (left) because of covid-19. Two birds with one stone! #proudsupervisor #womeninSTEM
