A new synthetic approach to fragment based drug discovery has been developed which will speed up the discovery of new 3-D shaped drugs

We celebrate the excellent science our Department’s PhD, PDRA and technical co-workers do by recognising the prizes and awards they have won in the first half of 2025.

A multinational team reports their new Ace-SABRE hyperpolarisation platform enables safe and rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pyruvate, which is an important metabolic component in many disease pathways, including cancer. The ability to create hyperpolarised pyruvate in a safe and effective way, avoiding the use of toxic solvents, will enable the use of Ace-SABRE in biological or clinical settings.

Professor Andrew Weller has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant worth €2.5 million over 5 years to study in crystallo organometallic synthesis and catalysis

Sulfur-modified Starbons enable platinum-group metals to be fished out of complex mixtures.

The Chemistry Analytical Facility (CAF) within the Department of Chemistry at York held its first showcase event on 22nd July funded by the ITSS Technology Specialists Network.

The latest edition of our twice-yearly magazine brings recent news from the Department celebrating the achievements of our colleagues, students and alumni.

A Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Prize film celebrates pioneering work on microbial sulfur recycling by researchers in the department and international collaborators. Discover how microbes power ecosystems and climate via organosulfur metabolism.
