Our research group Immune Regulation, in collaboration with Dr. Johannes Karges from the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has uncovered immunogenic properties of a novel metal complex with exciting potential as a chemotherapeutic. The findings, now published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, open new avenues for cancer therapy research. The discovery has also attracted media attention, being featured in a recent article by Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) — you can read the coverage here.
