Melanins are ubiquitous biopolymers produced from phenols and catechols by oxidation. They provide photoprotection, pigmentation and redox activity to most life forms, and inspire synthetic materials with desirable optical, electronic and mechanical properties. The chemical structures of melanins remain elusive, however, creating uncertainty about their roles, and preventing the design of synthetic mimics with tailored
Last 7th of March, the IQCC organized a meeting to show the documentary Picture a Scientist to highlight gender inequality in science during the Week of International Woman’s Day. The film tells the stories of several prominent female researchers and brings to light the barriers that they encountered, including cases of discrimination and harassment.
Sergio Fernández won the Josep Castells awards from the Real Sociedad Española de Química, Catalan section (RSEQ-Cat) for the best PhD in Chemistry in 2022. He did his PhD in the DIMOCAT group of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) under the supervision of Dr. Josep Maria Luis and at ICIQ-Universitat Rovira i
A few times a year, the IQCC opens its doors and gives the opportunity to high-school students to know our work through exciting lectures and computational and experimental workshops. This provides the secondary school pupils the possibility to get a feel for the research and have real-time chemistry in their hands. Last month, it was
