Franks participates in ICCC 2024 at Fort Collins, CO, USA

Frank presented his research work entitled “The role of metal-oxo clusters in the controlled synthesis of pigment@metal oxide hybrid materials” at the 45th International Conference on Coordination Chemistry at Fort Collins. In his poster, Frank discusses the characteristics of stable metal-oxo intermediates generated by the reaction of aromatic carboxylic acids and vanadium alkoxides under solvothermal conditions, and their uses as precursors for hybrid material synthesis. Congratulations Frank!

The South American lungfish has an eel-like, brownish-coloured body and a snake-like, yellow-spotted head.

Decoding the world’s largest animal genome

Thirty times the size of the human genome: An international team of researchers led by Konstanz evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer and Würzburg biochemist Manfred Schartl has sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome. Their data help to explain how the fish ancestors of today’s land vertebrates were able to conquer land.
