A consortium of European researchers, including César Laia and Jorge Parola, both researchers at LAQV at FCT NOVA, was awarded 6.7 million euros to develop the DecoChrom project for 4 years. This project will have other Portuguese partners, including Ynvisible, Sonae Indústria de Revestimentos and WeProductise.
Maria Manuel Marques, principal investigator at LAQV- FCT NOVA detailed an efficient protocol to attain 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-azaindoles in one pot (Org. Lett. 2017 , 19, 5118). The described protocol consists of sequential N-arylation of amino-o-halopyridines, Sonogashira reaction, and cyclization to the desired product. This is a fast and elegant access to this challenging class of compounds and creates a new platform to access novel drug candidates or scaled synthesis of actual drugs.
As bolsas de estudo no âmbito do Programa de Bolsas de Estudo “Hovione Solidaria na Educação” são destinadas a alunos com desempenho académico relevante mas que, por carência socioeconomica, não disponham de meios para frequentar os cursos de Licenciatura em Quimica Aplicada, Bioquimica, Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Quimica e Bioquimica, Engenharia do Ambiente, Engenharia Biomédica, Engenharia e Gestão Industrial da faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
The call for applications for the Doctoral Programme in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Applied to Chemistry, Materials and Biosciences, PTNMRPhD, is open from the 19th of December 2017 to the 15th of January 2018. There are 10 PhD fellowships available for highly motivated candidates that will be selected based on their educational background, academic qualification, research experience, motivation and scientific ability.
