The research activities of the Laboratory of Biocoordination and Bioanalytical Chemistry include following main directions: i) Study on complexation processes of biologically active compounds with various metal ions in order to improve the biological activity of ligands investigated; ii) Combined theoretical and spectroscopic approach to describe the structure-activity relationship of metal complexes; iii) Bioanalytical and toxicological, antibacterial and anticancer studies. The radiopharmaceutics and their properties are some of the objectives studied by the Laboratory of ICP techniques and trace analysis.
