Doctoral student Nikola Baslerova is joining the “Molecular Assemblies and Complex Systems” team for a 3-month Erasmus stay, as part of a collaboration with the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic.

Currently in her third year of doctoral studies, she carries out her research in the field of microbiology, but collaborates with chemists. The title of her thesis is “Determination of the biological activity of boranes and heteroboranes”.

At CBM, she studies the cytotoxicity of certain synthetic molecules, in particular complex, polyhedral boranes and heteroboranes. These compounds are of potential interest for certain biomedical applications, which are currently being explored.
