Yesterday was a special day for our lab. Hana, the very first person to join me on this crazy journey, successfully defended her PhD🥂Incredible privilege to work with this bright mind🧪🔬 and to watch her grow over the 4 years was truly fulfilling. Now go and conquer the world!

Where do the limits of NIR photocages lie? How can we break through them? Our recent wild and fantastic🏄ride together with @TomSolomek and Sergey Fisher from @HimsUva now published in @ChemicalScience 🤯🧨 🔗doi.org/10.1039/D4SC07165D 🙏@ERC_Research, @snsf_ch

Photocages made to order, for🎁EVERYONE🎁Cage highly complex payloads, including clinical pharmaceuticals, in a single step and control them with NIR💡Oh, by the way, we even caged capsaicin for those who really crave that photoactivated curry! Check t.ly/9qBiV

Kasia @Cacatuinaee is on a mitochondria sniping spree🔫🪖 Teaming up with Hana, she upgrades our photocages and simultaneously delivers H2S and a payload with subcellular precision. Of course - using NIR light. Check it out! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Photocage Chameleon: We observe a direct bond scission by a 800 nm photon and we can now uncage alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines. We applied it to regulate the beating rate of human cardiomyocytes with near-infrared light! #cyanines #photocages tinyurl.com/bdd9us3w

We've been a bit quiet - the chemistry that is cooking under the lid is not ready just quite yet. In the meantime, our Kasia wins the best poster award of the Visualize Your Science course given by @michal_juricek and @MichelRickhaus Great job, Kasia, and congrats!

Another trophy for the group! 💪This time, Hanka claims the poster prize at the DMCB2023 by SCS 🇨🇭 Congrats, amazing job! 👍 So cool to be part of such a meeting outside our field, felt like Alice in Wonderland at times.

Took Halloween as an opportunity to finally start learning #Blender and embrace it as a tool in science communication. This is my first render after I finished #blenderdonuts. Stay tuned for scientific renders next! Strongly inspired by @CgFigures and @bradyajohnston

Sometimes you just get tired of all the green color (cyanine) in the lab and want to explore the colors of early autumn. Our first group hike, somewhere in Schwyz. 💪"The mountains are so beautiful that they actually look fake," says Kasia during her first hike.

Marina pulls off something extraordinary. Probably the only person ever to win a poster prize at @SwissChemistry Photo Symposium after losing it in the train first. Turns out you just have to reprint very fast. I promise prize will not go towards printing costs. Congratulations!

Our very first manuscript is now up on ChemRxiv! 💪We show that carboxylic acids can be released🆓 from cyanines-based photocages (available on multigram scale) with near-infrared light.💡🔦 @snsf_ch @UZH_Chemistry @pdchemspol chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Christmas🎄is especially magical in the cellar of my father in-law. You get to see and taste what the grapes you helped harvesting turn into when treated with love and hard labor, but there is also all kinds of beautiful chemistry both on a personal level and inside the barrels.
