Drug Testing and Analysis

The research interests of our group are the design, synthesis, instrumental analysis, biotransformations and in vitro testing of novel, more selectively acting antitumor agents. The emphasis of the research is the development of new platinum complexes having more potent activity on various cancers. One goal in particular is the development of light activated Pt(IV)-prodrugs for the local therapy of lung, mouth, esophagus, bladder and skin cancer.
