Inorganic Synthesis

Nikolay Gerasimchuk obtained his first PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Kiev State University, Ukraine, and his second in Bioinorganic Chemistry from the University of Kansas, USA. He is currently a Professor at Missouri State University, USA. His research interests are synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and medical–biological applications of oxime-based ligands and their metal complexes. His publications include 118 papers, two book chapters, and two editorials in a special edition of Current Inorganic Chemistry. Dr Sergiy Tyukhtenko is a Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Drug Discovery at Northeastern University, USA. He received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from National Taras Shevchenko University, Ukraine, in 1983. He is an expert in NMR spectroscopy applications for the structural elucidation of small molecules, peptides and proteins. His current research focuses on the structural biology and dynamics of endocannabinoid receptors, enzymes and transporters, with an emphasis on developing novel molecular probes and potential therapeutics.
