Anticancer activity, DNA binding and cell mechanistic studies of estrogen-functionalised Cu(II) complexes
This work has just been published in Journal Biological Inorganic Chemistry by Stephen Barrett from the Montagner group. Exciting finding of the role of estrogens as targeting agents for Copper based anticancer drugs. Great intra-departmental (Dr. Eithne Dempsey) and extra-departmental collaboration (Prof. Kellett in DCU, Prof. Erxleben in NUIG and Prof. Gandin in Padova University).
