The research of the Donnelly Group focuses on the application of synthetic inorganic/organic chemistry to biology and materials science. In particular, I am interested in the application of coordination chemistry to metal-based drugs and the study of metal ions in biological systems.

Our multidisciplinary research involves inorganic/organic synthesis and the application of a wide range of analytical techniques including: multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, electronic and fluorescent spectroscopy, EPR, electrochemical techniques and X-ray crystallography.

The research group is based in new ‘state of art’ laboratories in the $100 million Bio21 Institute of Molecular Science and Biotechnology building that opened in 2005. This exciting development provides state-of-the-art facilities for researchers in a dynamic interdisciplinary environment.
