Seminar talk by Dr. Tomáš Etrych (IMC)

We have a guest, Dr. Tomáš Etrych form the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences. His talk will be about Hydrophilic and amphiphilic copolymers for therapy and diagnostics.

The conjugation of low-molecular-weight therapeutics with water-soluble or amphiphilic polymer carriers have several advantages, e.g. reduced drug toxicity, prolonged drug circulation in blood and higher accumulation of low-molecular-weight therapeutics in tumor or inflamed tissue, and enable highly effective tumor and anti-inflammatory therapy with minimized side effects. In ourgroup we study synthetic polymer carriers based on the methacrylamides as suitable drug delivery vectors. The accumulation of these polymer carriers in tumor or inflamed tissue is molecular-weight dependent. In addition, the size and shape of the polymer carriers is crucial for their biological behavior, therefore various structures were synthesized and will be presented. Importantly, such polymer vectors can be advantageously used also as diagnostics or theranostics. Amphiphilic conjugates with photosensitizers and hydrophilic conjugates with fluorescent near-infrared dyes will be shown and their effect in photodynamic therapy or navigated surgery will be mentioned. Last, but not least, the results of collaborative  research with companies will be presented during the lecture.

Departmental seminar on 29th November 2023

Filip Uhlík delivers his professorship lecture Chemistry by rolling dices.

Monte Carlo methods can be applied essentially to any problem. For most they would be quite poor, but there are some where they win and sometimes they are the only applicable methods we have. With costs of computing steadily and rapidly decreasing, their embarrassingly parallel nature is another advantage. In this lecture I would like to cover various aspects of the versatile Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method and to give several examples how it can be applied to studying problems of chemical interests.

The lecture will take place in person, in the hall CH3, Faculty of Science, Hlavova 8, Praha 2.

Departmental seminar on 1st November 2023

We have a guest, Dr. Štefan Vajda from Jaroslav Heyrovský Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences. The topic of his lecture is Atomically Precise Subnanometer Clusters: Size-and Composition Effects in Catalysis.

The focus of the presentation will be on catalysis by supported monodisperse subnanometer clusters made of a handful of atoms of one or two metals, supported on technologically relevant oxide supports. Using the examples of CO2 hydrogenation and CO oxidation, the effect of cluster size and atomic composition and the effect of the support will be discussed, along the role of theoretical calculations for the fundamental understanding of the function of cluster-based catalysts.
