Metal-Containing Molecules and Nanomaterials From Diagnosis to Therapy

Since the discovery and successful deployment of salvarsan to treat syphilis, as well as cisplatin as a cancer drug, the field of metallodrugs has been flourishing.

About the author

Ana de Bettencourt-Dias received her 'licenciatura' (MS equivalent) in Technological Chemistry from the University of Lisbon in 1993, and her 'Dr. rer. nat.' (PhD equivalent) in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Cologne in 1997 with Prof. Thomas Kruck. In her graduate work, she isolated new titanium complexes as single source precursors for the chemical vapor deposition of TiN thin layers. She joined the group of Prof. Alan Balch at UC Davis in 1998 as a Gulbenkian postdoctoral fellow, where she studied the electrochemistry and structure of fullerenes and endohedral fullerenes.
