New semester, new students

Since the early September, we have have several new students in our group. From the ERASMUS student this year we have Simone from the University of Rome (Italy) working with Santosh on the synthesis of new OATP-utilizing prodrugs for brain-targeting purposes; Maria from the University of Barcelona (Spain) working with the HPLC methods and stability and cellular uptake studies of novel metformin derivatives targeted to cancer cells; and Olivia from the Aix-Marseille University (France), working with Hamed on the evaluation of OATP-utilizing brain-targeted prodrugs. And then we also have Lina, already a postdoc, but studying additionally in a toxicology master programme and performin a master thesis with us by comparing the NMR and MS metabolic profiles in different set-ups. Not to forget that we are supervising with Adela and Aaro one master student Milka, and with Ville another master students Juuso, who should also start soon the modelling and Daria, who is already finishing her modelling studies. Did I forget someone... most likely yes, and there will be new students joining us later this year... 😎
