#ICIQSeminar | 🙌Thank you Prof. Tanja Weil from Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research for delivering a seminar about exploring controlled chemical reactions in complex living systems to generate drug molecules in situ. 🧩 Prof. Weil's research demonstrates that caged monomers form fibers in complex cellular environments. By introducing stimuli like pH or light, peptide self-assembly can be precisely controlled, enabling targeted applications like disrupting cell functions or activating immune responses. 💊 Combining different stimuli enables greater precision in uncaging reactions, as highlighted in Prof. Weil's seminar. Recently her group reported drug cyclization based on dynamic covalent linkages to devise a dual lock for a small-molecule anticancer drug. 🔵 Also thanks to our seminar sponsor BASF ICERCA - Centres de Recerca de Catalunya | Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) | SOMM Alliance
